摘要
We have investigated the exciton spin relaxation in InGaAs/AlAsSb quantum wells by time-resolved spin-dependent pump and probe reflectance measurements. The spin relaxation time of 1.38 mu m-electron-heavy-hole excitons at 150 K is obtained to be 34 43 ps at an excitation power of 50 80 mW. The observed carrier density dependence and temperature independence of the spin relaxation time indicate that the spin relaxation mechanism is dominated by the Bir-Aronov-Pikus process.
