It is shown that the collective spin rotation of a single Skyrmion in quantum Hall ferromagnet can be regarded as precession of the entire spin texture in the external magnetic field, with an effective moment of inertia which becomes infinite in the zero g-factor limit. This low-lying spin excitation may dramatically enhance the nuclear spin relaxation rate via the hyperfine interaction in the quantum well slightly away from filling factor equal one.

A spin-rotation mode emerging in a quantum Hall ferromagnet due to laser pulse excitation is studied. This state, macroscopically representing a rotation of the entire electron spin-system to a certain angle, is not microscopically equivalent to a coherent turn of all spins as a single-whole and is presented in the form of a combination of eigen quantum states corresponding to all possible S_z spin numbers. The motion of the macroscopic quantum state is studied microscopically by solving a non-stationary Schroedinger equation and by means of a kinetic approach where damping of the spin-rotation mode is related to an elementary process, namely, transformation of a `Goldstone spin exciton to a `spin-wave exciton. The system exhibits a spin stochastizationa mechanism (determined by spatial fluctuations of the Lande g-factor) ensuring damping, transverse spin relaxation, but irrelevant to decay of spin-wave excitons and thus not involving longitudinal relaxation, i.e., recovery of the S_z number to its equilibrium value.
We study spin wave relaxation in quantum Hall ferromagnet regimes. Spin-orbit coupling is considered as a factor determining spin nonconservation, and external random potential as a cause of energy dissipation making spin-flip processes irreversible. We compare this relaxation mechanism with other relaxation channels existing in a quantum Hall ferromagnet.
Electron spin relaxation in a spin-polarized quantum Hall state is studied. Long spin relaxation times that are at least an order of magnitude longer than those measured in previous experiments were observed and explained within the spin-exciton relaxation formalism. Absence of any dependence of the spin relaxation time on the electron temperature and on the spin-exciton density, and specific dependence on the magnetic field indicate the definite relaxation mechanism -- spin-exciton annihilation mediated by spin-orbit coupling and smooth random potential.
A theory of collective states in a magnetically quantized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with half-filled Landau level (quantized Hall ferromagnet) in the presence of magnetic 3d impurities is developed. The spectrum of bound and delocalized spin-excitons as well as the renormalization of Zeeman splitting of the impurity 3d levels due to the indirect exchange interaction with the 2DEG are studied for the specific case of n-type GaAs doped with Mn where the Lande` g-factors of impurity and 2DEG have opposite signs. If the sign of the 2DEG g-factor is changed due to external influences, then impurity related transitions to new ground state phases, presenting various spin-flip and skyrmion-like textures, are possible. Conditions for existence of these phases are discussed. PACS: 73.43.Lp, 73.21.Fg, 72.15.Rn
Experimental and theoretical studies of the coherent spin dynamics of two-dimensional GaAs/AlGaAs electron gas were performed. The system in the quantum Hall ferromagnet state exhibits a spin relaxation mechanism that is determined by many-particle Coulomb interactions. In addition to the spin exciton with changes in the spin quantum numbers of $delta S!=!delta S_z !=!-1$, the quantum Hall ferromagnet supports a Goldstone spin exciton that changes the spin quantum numbers to $delta S!=!0$ and $delta S_z!=!-1$, which corresponds to a coherent spin rotation of the entire electron system to a certain angle. The Goldstone spin exciton decays through a specific relaxation mechanism that is unlike any other collective spin state.
