摘要
We report the statistical effect of random in-plane deformations on the magnetic field depolarization of photoluminescence (the Hanle effect) in quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum wells or disklike quantum dots. Provided that the optical orientation signal from the sample is due to the nonequilibrium spin polarization of holes, the lineshape of the Hanle effect becomes non-Lorentzian. This results from a scatter of hole g-factor values, which is immanent to the hole ensembles in such systems. Analysis of the lineshape of the Hanle effect holds promise as a tool for distinguishing between X(+) and X(-) trion states in nanostructures.
