Exciton spin dynamics in quantum wells
Abstract
A theory of exciton spin dynamics is given in terms of the exchange spin-flip mechanism taking full account of the confinement of the quantum well. Exciton spin relaxation belongs to the motional narrowing class, with a characteristic inverse proportionality to the momentum scattering time of the exciton center of mass. Analysis of the time dependence of optical intensities of both circular polarizations, including competing relaxation mechanics from exciton exchange and from single-particle spin flip into optically inactive states, leads to characteristic shapes reflecting their relative importance. The calculated well-width dependence from our theory of the exciton spin relaxation leads to polarization intensities in good agreement with measurement. Theoretical electric and magnetic field dependences have yet to be tested against experiment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
