Electric field dependence of the spin relaxation anisotropy in (111) GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells

Time-resolved optical spectroscopy experiments in (111)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) show a strong electric field dependence of the conduction electron spin relaxation anisotropy. This results from the interplay between the Dresselhaus and Rashba spin splitting in this system with C _3v...
