- Abstract
We report on the spectroscopic magnetooptical studies of spin dynamics in diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) GaAs/AlGaAs/ZnSe/ZnCdMnSe heterovalent double quantum wells (QW). The transients of circularly polarized photoluminescence in an external magnetic field are detected in the structures with different widths of the GaAs QW. The analysis of the data, performed within the rate-equation model, has allowed separate estimations of the spin relaxation rate of localized electrons and holes. The spin flip of the electrons confined in the DMS ZnCdMnSe QW is faster than 20 ps, whereas the spin flip of the heavy hole localized in the GaAs QW is as long as ~9 ns. The long spin flip of the holes is presumably governed by their strong 3-dimensional localization.
