In recent years, interest in spin physics has been renewed due to its potential application in spintronics and quantum information. In these frameworks, the main required property is the presence of long spin memory. We present a short review of recent results concerning spin decoherence and relaxation processes in zero-dimensional (0D) nanostructures, especially in quantum dots.
