Strain-Tunable Spin Relaxation in Germanium from First Principles

Germanium is a leading platform for semiconductor spin qubits and spintronics.

Germanium is a leading platform for semiconductor spin qubits and spintronics. Yet its electron and hole spin dynamics remain understood primarily through phenomenological models. Here, we predict electronic transport and spin relaxation in bulk Ge entirely from first…
