| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To observe the spatial and temporal behavior of photo-created electron spins, we developed pump-probe micro-Kerr rotation measurement system, which has 1μm spatial resolution, 100μm x 100μm scanning region, high sensitivity spin detection under several μW laser excitation. Photocurrent measurements were also made possible in this system. In ZnSe/BeTe quantum wells, not only the Dresselhaus effect but also another effect is found to be necessary to explain the anisotropic spin propagation. In CdMnTe quantum wells the suppression of the photo-induced exciton spin precession, which means the effective g-factor is zero, was observed at critical temperature. This result was well explained by the competition between the exciton Zeeman effect and exciton-Mn exchange interaction. The spin lifetime indicated intensive increase above the critical temperature. In (BEDT-TTF)(TCNQ) crystals the suppression of photogenerated carrier conduction was observed below the antiferromagnetic transition.
