Electron spin dynamics in InAs/GaAs heterostructures consisting of a single layer of InAs (1/3$sim$1 monolayer) embeded in (001) and (311)A GaAs matrix was studied by means of time-resolved Kerr rotation spectroscopy. The spin relaxation time of the sub-monolayer InAs samples is significantly enhanced, compared with that of the monolayer InAs sample. We attributed the slowing of the spin relaxation to dimensionally constrained Dtextquoteright{}yakonov-Pereltextquoteright{} mechanism in the motional narrowing regime. The electron spin relaxation time and the effective g-factor in sub-monolayer samples were found to be strongly dependent on the photon-generated carrier density. The contribution from both Dtextquoteright{}yakonov-Pereltextquoteright{} mechanism and Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanism were discussed to interpret the temperature dependence of spin decoherence at various carrier densities.

We study the intra-valley spin-orbit mediated spin relaxation in monolayers of MoS2 within a two bands effective Hamiltonian. The intrinsic spin splitting of the valence band as well as a Rashba-like coupling due to the breaking of the out-of-plane i nversion symmetry are considered. We show that, in the hole doped regime, the out-of-plane spin relaxation is not very efficient since the spin splitting of the valence band tends to stabilize the spin polarization in this direction. We obtain spin lifetimes larger than nanoseconds, in agreement with recent valley polarization experiments.
Non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated systems constitutes a fascinating problem of condensed matter physics with many open questions. Here we investigate the relaxation dynamics of Landau-quantized electron system into spin-valley polarized ground state in a gate-tunable MoSe$_2$ monolayer subjected to a strong magnetic field. The system is driven out of equilibrium with optically injected excitons that depolarize the electron spins and the subsequent electron spin-valley relaxation is probed in time-resolved experiments. We demonstrate that the relaxation rate at millikelvin temperatures sensitively depends on the Landau level filling factor: it becomes faster whenever the electrons form an integer quantum Hall liquid and slows down appreciably at non-integer fillings. Our findings evidence that valley relaxation dynamics may be used as a tool to investigate the interplay between the effects of disorder and strong interactions in the electronic ground state.
We study photoluminescence (PL) spectra and exciton dynamics of MoS$_2$ monolayer (ML) grown by the chemical vapor deposition technique. In addition to the usual direct A-exciton line we observe a low-energy line of bound excitons dominating the PL s pectra at low temperatures. This line shows unusually strong redshift with increase in the temperature and submicrosecond time dynamics suggesting indirect nature of the corresponding transition. By monitoring temporal dynamics of exciton PL distribution in the ML plane we observe diffusive transport of A-excitons and measure the diffusion coefficient up to $40$~cm$^2$/s at elevated excitation powers. The bound exciton spatial distribution spreads over tens of microns in $sim 1$ $mu$s. However this spread is subdiffusive, characterized by a significant slowing down with time. The experimental findings are interpreted as a result of the interplay between the diffusion and Auger recombination of excitons.

Based on a Monte Carlo method, we investigate the influence of transport conditions on the electron spin relaxation in GaAs. The decay of initial electron spin polarization is calculated as a function of distance under the presence of moderate drift fields and/or non-zero injection energies. For relatively low fields (a couple of kV/cm), a substantial amount of spin polarization is preserved for several microns at 300 K. However, it is also found that the spin relaxation rate increases rapidly with the drift field, scaling as the square of the electron wavevector in the direction of the field. When the electrons are injected with a high energy, a pronounced decrease is observed in the spin relaxation length due to an initial increase in the spin precession frequency. Hence, high-field or high-energy transport conditions may not be desirable for spin-based devices.
The optical susceptibility is a local, minimally-invasive and spin-selective probe of the ground state of a two-dimensional electron gas. We apply this probe to a gated monolayer of MoS$_2$. We demonstrate that the electrons are spin polarized. Of th e four available bands, only two are occupied. These two bands have the same spin but different valley quantum numbers. We argue that strong Coulomb interactions are a key aspect of this spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Bohr radius is so small that even electrons located far apart in phase space interact, facilitating exchange couplings to align the spins.
