  • Abstract
    We investigate the surface roughness induced spin relaxation in scaled spin MOSFETs. We show that the spin-flip hot spots characterized by strong spin relaxation appear in thin MOSFET channel. Strain can efficiently move these hot spots outside of the states occupied by carriers, resulting in a substantial increase of the spin lifetime.
