Resumen:
Angle-resolved magneto-Raman scattering has been performed on spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas embedded in Cd1−xMnxTe quantum wells to explore the intrinsic damping of propagating spin-wave modes with in plane momentum q. The damping rate η follows a quadratic law η=η0+η2q2 due to losses in the spin current driven by the magnetization in qualitative agreement with Phys. Rev. B 78, 020404(R) (2008). As a consequence, the propagation length of a spin wave in a conducting system has an intrinsic maximum of importance for spin-wave-based spintronics.
