The D'yakonov-Perel' spin relaxation mechanism in n-doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The temperature dependence of the spin relaxation time has been calculated for arbitrary degeneracy of the 2D electron gas. The comparison between theory and experiment shows that, in high-mobility n-doped QWs, the studied spin decoherence is controlled by electron-electron collisions.
