17. Note, that in these experiments only bright exciton states (M =+ 1) are excited. As the spin relaxation time to the energetically lower lying dark exciton states (M =+ 2) is usually assumed to exceed the radiative lifetime significantly[18 19], the decay time is mainly controlled by the radiative recombination.
