Giant Spin Relaxation Anisotropy in Zinc-Blende Heterostructures

Abstract

Spin relaxation in-plane anisotropy is predicted for heterostructures based on zinc-blende semiconductors. It is shown that it manifests itself especially brightly if the two spin relaxation mechanisms (D'yakonov-Perel' and Rashba) are comparable in efficiency. It is demonstrated that for the quantum well grown along the [0 0 1] direction, the main axes of spin relaxation rate tensor are [1 1 0] and [1 -1 0].
