Abstract

Time-resolved Kerr rotation and resonant spin amplification techniques were used to study the spin dynamics in multilayer GaAs / AlGaAs quantum wells. The spin dynamics was regulated through the wave function engineering and quantum confinement in multilayer quantum wells. We observed the spin coherence with remarkably long dephasing time T-2{*}>13 ns for the structure doped beyond metal-insulator transition. Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation mechanism, as well as the inhomogeneity of electron g-factor, was suggested as the major limiting factor for the spin coherence time. In the metallic regime, we found that the electron-electron collisions become dominant over microscopic scattering on the electron spin relaxation with the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism. Furthermore, the data analysis indicated that in our structure, due to the spin relaxation anisotropy, the Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation mechanism is efficient for the spins oriented in-plane and suppressed along the quantum well growth direction resulting in the enhancement of T-2{*}. Our findings, namely, long-lived spin coherence persisting up to high temperature, spin polarisation decay time with and without magnetic field, the spin-orbit field, single electron relaxation time, transport scattering time and the electron-electron Coulomb scattering time highlight the attractiveness of n-doped multilayer systems for spin devices.
