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.

We investigated the spin dynamics of two-dimensional electrons in (001) GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure using the time resolved Kerr rotation technique under a transverse magnetic field. The in-plane spin lifetime is found to be anisotropic below 150k du
e to the interference of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling and Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation. The ratio of in-plane spin lifetimes is measured directly as a function of temperature and pump power, showing that the electron density in 2DEG channel strongly affects the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
Optical orientation experiments have been performed in GaAs epilayers with photoexcitation energies in the 3 eV region yielding the photogeneration of spin-polarized electrons in the satellite L valley. We demonstrate that a significant fraction of t
he electron spin memory can be conserved when the electron is scattered from the L to the $Gamma$ valley following an energy relaxation of several hundreds of meV. Combining these high energy photo-excitation experiments with time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy of $Gamma$ valley spin-polarized photogenerated electrons allows us to deduce a typical L valley electron spin relaxation time of 200 fs, in agreement with theoretical calculations.
We report a surprisingly long spin relaxation time of electrons in Mn-doped p-GaAs. The spin relaxation time scales with the optical pumping and increases from 12 ns in the dark to 160 ns upon saturation. This behavior is associated with the differen
ce in spin relaxation rates of electrons precessing in the fluctuating fields of ionized or neutral Mn acceptors, respectively. For the latter the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between a Mn ion and a bound hole results in a partial compensation of these fluctuating fields, leading to the enhanced spin memory.
Using a microfabricated, p-type GaAs Hall bar, is it shown that the combined application of co-planar electric and magnetic fields enables the observation at 50 K of spatial oscillations of the photoluminescence circular polarization due to the prece
ssion of drifting spin-polarized photoelec- trons. Observation of these oscillations as a function of electric field E gives a direct measurement of the minority carrier drift mobility and reveals that, for E = 800 V/cm, spin coherence is preserved over a length as large as 25{mu}m.
We study the spin dynamics in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas confined in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. An unusual magnetic field dependence of the spin relaxation is found: as the magnetic field becomes stronger, the spin relaxation time
first increases quadratically but then changes to a linear dependence, before it eventually becomes oscillatory, whereby the longitudinal and transverse times reach maximal values at even and odd filling Landau level factors, respectively. We show that the suppression of spin relaxation is due to the effect of electron gyration on the spin-orbit field, while the oscillations correspond to oscillations of the density of states appearing at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. The transition from quadratic to linear dependence can be related to a transition from classical to Bohm diffusion and reflects an anomalous behavior of the two-dimensional electron gas analogous to that observed in magnetized plasmas.
