Understanding the properties of electron spin dephasing is a very crucial detail for any future spin-electronic device. We investigated the electron spin dynamics in a high mobility (1.6 × 106 cm2/Vs) two dimensional electron system in a one side n-doped (2.1 × 1011 cm2) 20 nm wide GaAs-AlGaAs single quantum well by conducting time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR) measurements in the range from zero to high magnetic fields (up to 10T) which are applied in the Voigt configuration. We found that the spin dephasing time T2* is strongly depending on the initial degree of spin polarization P and on the applied magnetic field. Besides that, we also found that the electron g-factor is increasing with decreasing P. At very low sample temperatures (1.5 K) we also observed zero field spin oscillations [Brand et al. PRL 89, 236601(2002)]. Our measurements are in good accordance with the calculations done by Wu et al. that are based on solving the many body kinetic Bloch equations.
