We focus on a special case, when spin-orbit induced random magnetic field is directed along a fixed axis. This case is realized in III-V-based quantum wells grown in [110] direction and also in [100]-grown quantum wells with equal strength of Dresselhaus and Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit couplings. We show that in such wells the long-time spin dynamics is determined by non-Markovian memory effects. Due to these effects the non-exponential tail $1/t^2$ appears in the spin polarization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-07-26T14:59:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "classical memory effects", "two-dimensional systems", "spin-orbit induced random magnetic field", "iii-v-based quantum wells grown", "non-markovian memory effects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
