Surface acoustic waves (SAW) have proven to be useful for driving charge and spin in quantum wells. By effectively separating spatially electrons and holes, spin transport by a SAW eludes the Bir-Aronov-Pikus relaxation mechanism. The piezo-electric in-plane field of the SAW allows to concentrate carriers in narrow pockets [1]. The suppression of the Dyakonov-Perel’ spin relaxation mechanism based on the dominating spin-orbit interactions (Dresselhaus and Rashba) can thus be explained [2]. In this work, we study additional relaxation mechanisms, namely spin-orbit interaction due to strain and an out-of-plane electric field.
