We have studied exciton spin relaxation in strained GaN epilayers on various sapphire substrates using spindependent transient reflectivity and three‐pulse four‐wave mixing measurements. Strikingly fast exciton spin relaxation (<1 ps) at 10 K was observed in the lowest exciton level ( A ‐exciton) both in bulk and GaN layer on c ‐sapphire. In contrast, the transient signals in the GaN layer on a ‐sapphire show the break down of the spin polarization caused by the exchange interaction. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
