Spin relaxation in undoped quasispherical CdS quantum dots at zero magnetic fields is investigated using time- and polarization-resolved transient absorption measurements. Unlike in previous studies of these systems, the measured signals were corrected for spin-insensitive contributions to the exciton bleaching dynamics, allowing us to determine the pure spin-related exciton dynamics. To explain the observed room-temperature spin-relaxation time of several nanoseconds, we propose a mechanism based on intralevel exciton transitions with the emission of one LO phonon, the absorption of another LO phonon, and an electron spin flip, which is driven by the electron-hole exchange interaction. The transition rates, calculated in the present work for different sizes of quantum dots and temperatures, are in fair agreement with our experimental results.
