Effects of asymmetry on electron spin dynamics in gallium arsenide quantum wells

This work presents optical studies of electron spin dynamics in gallium arsenide (GaAs) quantum wells, focusing on the effect of inversion asymmetric confinement potentials on spin lifetimes in quantum wells grown on (110)-oriented substrates. Inversion asymmetry in the presence of the spinorbit int...
