Abstract
The signature of motional narrowing in the spin relaxation of excitons is the inverse proportionality between the spin relaxation time τs and the momentum relaxation time T2. We find such a relation in ZnSe quantum wells over a range of temperatures reaching from 8 up to 200 K. For low temperatures T<60 K where the excitonic T2 is determined by scattering with acoustic phonons motional narrowing might be the reason for the increase of spin lifetime. But for higher temperatures where exciton ionization by optical phonons dominates we attribute the effect to a suppression of electron-hole exchange interaction due to the reduced spatial overlap of electron and hole wave functions.
