摘要
Spin relaxation due to the D'yakonov–Perel' mechanism is intimately related with the spin splitting of the electronic states. We calculate the spin relaxation rates from anisotropic spin splittings of electron subbands in n-(001)-AlGaAs/GaAs quantum structures obtained in a self-consistent multiband approach. The giant anisotropy of spin relaxation rates found for different spin components in the (001) plane can be ascribed to a mutual compensation of terms because of the asymmetry of the bulk crystal and the quantum well structure.
