Spin relaxation in quantum Hall ferromagnet regimes is studied. As the initial non-equilibrium state, a coherent deviation of the spin system from the ${vec B}$ direction is considered and the breakdown of this Goldstone-mode state due to hyperfine coupling to nuclei is analyzed. The relaxation occurring non-exponentially with time is studied in terms of annihilation processes in the Goldstone condensate formed by zero spin excitons. The relaxation rate is calculated analytically even if the initial deviation is not small. This relaxation channel competes with the relaxation mechanisms due to spin-orbit coupling, and at strong magnetic fields it becomes dominating.

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 C
oulomb 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.
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.
We report on the calculation of the cyclotron spin-flip excitation (CSFE) in a spin-polarized quantum Hall system at unit filling. This mode has a double-exciton component which contributes to the CSFE correlation energy but can not be found by means
of a mean field approach. The result is compared with available experimental data.
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 co
herent 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.
A highly non-thermal electron distribution is generated when quantum Hall edge states originating from sources at different potentials meet at a quantum point contact. The relaxation of this distribution to a stationary form as a function of distance
downstream from the contact has been observed in recent experiments [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 056803 (2010)]. Here we present an exact treatment of a minimal model for the system at filling factor u=2, with results that account well for the observations.
