Electron Spin-Phonon Relaxation in Quantum Dots
We calculate the spin relaxation rates in parabolic quantum dots due to the phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction in presence of an external magnetic field. Both, deformation potential (DP) and piezoelectric (PE) electron-phonon couplings are included in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the spin relaxation rates are particularly sensitive with the Landé g...
متن کاملSpin relaxation in quantum dots
Results are given for spin relaxation in quantum dots due to acoustic phonon-assisted flips of single spins at low temperatures. The dominant spin relaxation processes for varying dot size, temperature, and magnetic field are identified. These processes are mediated by the spin-orbit interaction and are described within a generalized effective mass treatment. Particular attention is given to ph...
متن کاملElectron spin relaxation by nuclei in semiconductor quantum dots
We have studied theoretically the electron spin relaxation in semiconductor quantum dots via interaction with nuclear spins. The relaxation is shown to be determined by three processes: (i) – the precession of the electron spin in the hyperfine field of the frozen fluctuation of the nuclear spins; (ii) – the precession of the nuclear spins in the hyperfine field of the electron; and (iii) – the...
متن کاملPhonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction as a spin relaxation mechanism in InSb quantum dots
We calculate the spin relaxation rates in a parabolic InSb quantum dots due to the spin interaction with acoustical phonons. We considered the deformation potential mechanism as the dominant electron-phonon coupling in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. By studying suitable choices of magnetic field and lateral dot size, we determine regions where the spin relaxation rates can be practi...
متن کاملSpin-Lattice Relaxation in Si Quantum Dots
We consider spin-lattice relaxation processes for electrons trapped in lateral Si quantum dots in a [001] inversion layer. Such dots are characterized by strong confinement in the direction perpendicular to the surface and much weaker confinement in the lateral direction. The spin relaxation is assumed to be due to the modulation of electron g-factor by the phonon-induced strain, as was shown p...
