Electron spin dephasing times are of basic interest in the course of "spintronics" and its potential for applications. One important spindephasing mechanism depends on electron hole exchange interaction which is determined by the overlap of electron and hole wavefunctions and, therefore, can be tuned by external electric fields.
We measure electron spin dephasing times in a biased GaAs quantum well in dependence of temperature and electric field applied perpendicular to the layers. The sample consists of a single undoped 20 nm GaAs quantum well sandwiched between 100 nm Al0.35Ga0.65As barriers. Electron and holes are excited by ps-pulses of an 80 MHz mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser. Electron spin dephasing times are determined by time and polarization-resolved photoluminescence which is detected by a synchroscan streakcamera.
