We study the depolarization of optically oriented electrons in quantum wells subjected to an in-plane magnetic field and show that the Hanle curve drastically depends on the carrier mobility. In low-mobility structures, the Hanle curve is described by a Lorentzian with the width determined by the effective g-factor and the spin lifetime. In contrast, the magnetic field dependence of spin polarization in high-mobility quantum wells is nonmonotonic: The spin polarization rises with the magnetic field induction at small fields, reaches maximum and then decreases. We show that the position of the Hanle curve maximum can be used to directly measure the spin-orbit Rashba/Dresselhaus magnetic field.
