△ [14p-C41-12] Hole spin relaxation in type-I tunneling biquantum well
Keywords:spin relaxation, tunneling biquantum well, hole
In GaAs/AlGaAs type-I tunneling biquantum wells, the recovery time of excitonic absorption bleaching is reduced compared with conventional GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells because the excited electrons in GaAs narrow wells can tunnel to the GaAs wide quantum wells. We observed positive barrier thickness dependences of electron tunneling time and hole spin relaxation time. This result suggests that hole spin relaxation is affected by electron tunneling.
