| Abstract: | The carrier-density-dependent spin relaxation dynamics for modulation-doped GaAs/Al_(0.3)Ga_(0.7)As quantum weiis is studied using the time-resolved magneto-Kerr rotation measurements.The electron spin relaxation time and its in-plane anisotropy are studied as a function of the optically injected electron density.Moreover,the relative strength of the Rashba and the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling fields,and thus the observed spin relaxation time anisotropy,is further tuned by the additional excitation of a 532 nm continuous wave laser,demonstrating an effective spin relaxation manipulation via an optical gating method. |
