摘要
We have observed microsecond spin-flip times in lightly doped n-GaAs, by measuring the photoluminescence polarization in the time domain with pump and probe pulses. Times up to 1.4 mus have been measured. Our results as a function of magnetic field indicate three regions governing the spin relaxation: a low field region, where spin-flip times increase due to suppression of the nuclear hyperfine. interaction for localized electrons, a medium field region where spin-flip times increase due to narrowing of the hyperfine relaxation for interacting electrons, and a high field region where spin-flip times begin to level off due to the increasing importance of spin-orbit relaxation mechanisms.
