Time-resolved optical techniques are used to explore electron spin dynamicsin bulk and epilayer samples of n-type ZnO as a function of temperature andmagnetic field. The bulk sample yields a spin coherence time T2* of 20 ns at T= 30 K. Epilayer samples, grown by pulsed laser deposition, show a maximum T2*of 2 ns at T = 10 K, with spin precession persisting up to T = 280 K.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
