摘要：

Using a spectroscopic technique based on the transient specular inverse Faraday effect (SIFE) we found the electron spin relaxation time in bulk GaAs at room temperature to be 11 +/- 1 ps. The hole spin dynamics gives a SIFE signal of the opposite sign and may be resolved in the time-domain. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
