This study is motivated by our experiments on catalytically grown wurtzite semiconductor nanowires, where spin densities are optically excited homogeneously along the nanowire axis [1]. Recently, we carried out these measurements by systematically changing the wire width. Here, a theoretical analysis of the width dependent D’yakonov-Perel’ spin relaxation in these wires is presented, which is due to spin-orbit coupling in the diffusive regime. It is shown that the motional narrowing differs significantly from the case in zincblende wires [2,3]. Moreover, by taking into account an external electric and magnetic field magnetoconductivity corrections (weak (anti-)localization) are calculated, going also beyond the diffusive regime by following Ref. [4].
