Notes:
The electron spin resonance (ESR) is optically detected by monitoring the microwave-induced changes in the circular polarization of the neutral exciton (X) and the negatively charged exciton (X−) emission in CdTe quantum wells with low density of excess electrons. We find that the circular polarization of the X and X− emission is a mapping of the spin polarization of excess electrons. By analyzing the ESR-induced decrease in the circular polarization degree of the X emission, we deduce the microwave-induced electron spin-flip time 〉0.1 μs, which is much longer than the recombination time of X and X−. This demonstrates that the optically detected ESR in type I quantum wells with low density of excess electrons does not obey the prerequisite for the conventional optically detected magnetic resonance. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
