Spin relaxation of negatively charged excitons in CdTe quantum wells
We investigate the spin relaxation of negatively charged excitons in modulation-doped CdTe quantum wells by time-resolved photoluminescence. The charged exciton spin flip process is found to be very sensitive to the excitation energy but not to a change of electron concentration. We exclude the Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanism, which is based on the exchange interaction, as responsible for the X- spin flip.
