摘要: We analyze exciton spin dynamics in GaSe under nonresonant circularly polarized optical pumping with an spin-flip rate-equation model. The model reproduces time-dependent photoluminescence measurements which the initial circular polarization approaches unity even when 0.15 eV excess energy. At T = 10 K, relaxation exhibits a biexponential decay sub-20 ps and >500 time constants, are also reproduced by assuming distinct spin-relaxation rates for hot (nonequilibrium) cold band-edge excitons.
