We study the in-plane transport of spin-polarized electrons in III-V semiconductor quantum wells. The spin dynamics is controlled by the spin-orbit interaction, which arises via the Dresselhaus (bulk asymmetry) and Rashba (well asymmetry) mechanisms. This interaction, owing to its momentum dependence, causes rotation of the spin polarization vector, and also produces effective spin dephasing. The density matrix approach is used to describe the evolution of the electron spin polarization, while the spatial motion of the electrons is treated semiclassically. Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for temperatures in the range 77-300 K.
