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.

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.
Cyclotron spin-flip excitation in a nu=2 quantum Hall system, being separated from the ground state by a slightly smaller gap than the cyclotron energy and from upper magnetoplasma excitation by the Coulomb gap [S. Dickmann and I.V. Kukushkin, Phys.
Rev. B 71, 241310(R) (2005) ; L.V. Kulik, I.V. Kukushkin, S. Dickmann, V.E. Kirpichev, A.B. Vankov, A.L. Parakhonsky, J.H. Smet, K. von Klitzing, and W. Wegscheider, Phys. Rev. B 72, 073304 (2005)] cannot relax in a purely electronic way except only with the emission of a shortwave acoustic phonon (k~3*10^7/cm). As a result, relaxation in a modern wide-thickness quantum well occurs very slowly. We calculate the characteristic relaxation time to be ~1s. Extremely slow relaxation should allow the production of a considerable density of zero-momenta cyclotron spin-flip excitations in a very small phase volume, thus forming a highly coherent ensemble - the Bose-Einstein condensate. The condensate state can be controlled by short optical pulses (<1 mcs), switching it on and off.
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.
Spin relaxation in a quantum Hall ferromagnet, where filling is $ u=1, 1/3, 1/5,...$, can be considered in terms of spin wave annihilation/creation processes. Hyperfine coupling with the nuclei of the GaAs matrix provides spin non-conservation in the
two-dimensional electron gas and determines spin relaxation in the quantum Hall system. This mechanism competes with spin-orbit coupling channels of spin-wave decay and can even dominate in a low-temperature regime where $T$ is much smaller than the Zeeman gap. In this case the spin-wave relaxation process occurs non-exponentially with time and does not depend on the temperature. The competition of different relaxation channels results in crossovers in the dominant mechanism, leading to non-monotonic behavior of the characteristic relaxation time with the magnetic field. We predict that the relaxation times should reach maxima at $Bsimeq 18,$T in the $ u=1$ Quantum Hall system and at $Bsimeq 12,$T for that of $ u=1/3,$. We estimate these times as $sim10,-,30,mu$s and $sim2,-,5,mu$s, respectively.
Recent advances in quantum engineering have given us the ability to design hybrid systems with novel properties normally not present in the regime they operate in. The coupling of spin ensembles and magnons to microwave resonators has for instance le
ad to a much richer understanding of collective effects in these systems and their potential quantum applications. We can also hybridize electron and nuclear spin ensembles together in the solid-state regime to investigate collective effects normally only observed in the atomic, molecular and optical world. Here we explore in the solid state regime the dynamics of a double domain nuclear spin ensemble coupled to the Nambu-Goldstone boson in GaAs semiconductors and show it exhibits both collective and individual relaxation (thermalization) on very different time scales. Further the collective relaxation of the nuclear spin ensemble is what one would expect from superradiant decay. This opens up the possibility for the exploration of novel collective behaviour in solid state systems where the natural energies associated with those spins are much less than the thermal energy.
