T. Amand et al., LUMINESCENCE POLARIZATION DYNAMICS AND SPIN RELAXATION OF EXCITONS INSTRAINED INGAAS GAAS QUANTUM-WELLS/, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria fiziceskaa, 58(7), 1994, pp. 163-167
We have investigated the exciton spin dynamics in strained InxGa1-xAs/
GaAs (x less-than-or-equal-to 0,2) quantum wells. The variation of the
initial polarization with the excitation energy is well correlated wi
th the increasing mixing of the valence band states. The time behaviur
of the depolarization curves clearly demonstrates the prime importanc
e of the hole and exciton spin relaxation processes.
