Abstract
We discuss classical dynamics of electron spin in two-dimensional semiconductors with a spin-split spectrum. 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 appears in the spin polarization.
