摘要：

Spin relaxation in-plane anisotropy is predicted for heterostructures based on zinc-blende semiconductors. It is shown that it manifests itself especially brightly if the two spin relaxation mechanisms (Dyakonov-Perel and Rashba) are comparable in efficiency. It is demonstrated that for the quantum well grown along the [001] direction, the main axes of spin relaxation rate tensor are [110] and [1 (1) over bar 0]. [S0163-1829(99)09643-5].
