Abstract

Exciton spin relaxation in bulk GaN was directly observed with sufficient time resolution for the first time, to our knowledge, by spin dependent pump and probe reflectance measurement with sub-picosecond's time resolution. The spin relaxation times at 150-225 K are 0.47-0.25 ps. These are at least one order of magnitude shorter than those of the other III-V compound semiconductors. The spin relaxation time, τS, is found to be proportional to T 1.4, where T is the temperature.
