摘要
We measured the electron spin relaxation time tau (s) in n-modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs(110) multiple quantum wills by pump probe method. The value of tau (s) exceeds 10 ns even at room temperature, which is two orders of magnitude longer than that in (001) GaAs quantum wells. The tau (s), dependence on quantized-electron energy, pump beam power and temperature can qualitatively be explained by the reduction of the electron-hole exchange interaction due to screening.
