In this paper, we have used semiclassical Monte Carlo method to show the dependence of spin relaxation length in III–V compound semiconductor core–shell nanowires on different parameters such as lateral electric field, temperature and core dimensions. We have reported the simulation results for electric field in the range of 0.5–10 kV/cm, temperature in the range of 77–300 K and core length ranging from 2 nm to 8 nm. The spin relaxation mechanisms used in III–V compound semiconductor core–shell nanowire are D'yakonov–Perel (DP) relaxation and Elliott–Yafet (EY) relaxation. Depending upon the choice of materials for core and shell, nanowire forms two types of band structures. We have used InSb – GaSb core–shell nanowire and InSb – GaAs core–shell nanowire and nanowire formed by swapping the core and shell materials to show all the results.

We have analyzed spin relaxation behavior of various II–VI semiconductors for nanowire structure and 2-D channel by simulating spin polarized transport through a semiclassical approach. Monte Carlo simulation method has been applied to simulate our model. D'yakonov–Perel mechanism and Elliot–Yafet mechanism are dominant for spin relaxation in II–VI semiconductors. Variation in spin relaxation length with external field has been analyzed and comparison is drawn between nanowire and 2-D channels. Spin relaxation lengths of various II–VI semiconductors are compared at an external field of 1 kV/cm to understand the predominant factors affecting spin dephasing in them. Among the many results obtained, most noticeable one is that spin relaxation length in nanowires is many times greater than that in 2-D channel.

A cylindrical ferrimagnetic magnetic nanowire system of core and shell layers has been investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. Critical temperature is obtained for different values of exchange couplings at the core–shell interface, at shell–shell and core–core. The total magnetization has been the determinate for different values of crystal field. Hysteresis loop, coercive field and remanent magnetization of a core and shell layers are obtained using the Monte Carlo simulation. A number of characteristic behaviors are found, such as the occurrence of single and triple hysteresis loops for appropriate values of crystal field, temperatures values and exchange interaction values.
