Abstract
We have investigated the temperature dependence of the exciton spin relaxation between 10 and 300 K in undoped GaAs quantum wells by using the nonlinear transmission pump-probe and the four-wave-mixing techniques. The electron spin relaxation rate above 40 K is found to be proportional to the product of the temperature and the momentum relaxation time, which indicates that the D'yakonov-Perel' interaction governs the spin-flip dynamics. The temperature independence below 30 K is considered to be due to the band-mixing effect that determines the hole spin relaxation, and the spin exchange is effective to the exciton spin relaxation in these temperatures.
