Abstract
Exciton spin decay in a self‐assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot is studied. The spin relaxation results from an interplay of two factors: the Bir‐Pikus Hamiltonian and the short‐range exchange interaction, leading to one‐ and two‐phonon assisted transitions. We establish a hierarchy between the resulting transition rates; the one‐phonon assisted transition to dark states is the fastest process. We also show the dominating role of transverse phonons for all of the transitions.
