Orbital and spin dynamics of intraband electrons in quantum rings driven by twisted light.
We theoretically investigate the effect that twisted light has on the orbital and spin dynamics of electrons in quantum rings possessing sizable Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The system Hamiltonian for such a strongly inhomogeneous light field exhibits terms which induce both spin-conserving and spin-flip processes. We analyze the dynamics in terms of the perturbation introduced by a weak ligh...
متن کاملControl of the spin geometric phase in semiconductor quantum rings
Since the formulation of the geometric phase by Berry, its relevance has been demonstrated in a large variety of physical systems. However, a geometric phase of the most fundamental spin-1/2 system, the electron spin, has not been observed directly and controlled independently from dynamical phases. Here we report experimental evidence on the manipulation of an electron spin through a purely ge...
متن کاملNuclear double resonance between statistical spin polarizations.
We demonstrate nuclear double resonance for nanometer-scale volumes of spins where random fluctuations rather than Boltzmann polarization dominate. When the Hartmann-Hahn condition is met in a cross-polarization experiment, flip-flops occur between two species of spins and their fluctuations become coupled. We use magnetic resonance force microscopy to measure this effect between 1H and 13C spi...
متن کاملQuantum-dot ground-state energies and spin polarizations: soft versus hard chaos.
We consider how the nature of the dynamics affects ground state properties of ballistic quantum dots. We find that "mesoscopic Stoner fluctuations" that arise from the residual screened Coulomb interaction are very sensitive to the degree of chaos. It leads to ground state energies and spin polarizations whose fluctuations strongly increase as a system becomes less chaotic. The crucial features...
متن کاملNuclear-spin-induced oscillatory current in spin-blockaded quantum dots.
We show experimentally that electron transport through GaAs-based double quantum dots can be affected by ambient nuclear spin states in a certain regime where transport is blocked in the absence of electron spin flip. Current through the dots oscillates in time with a period up to 200 s depending on magnetic field. Oscillation is quenched by application of a continuous wave ac magnetic field wh...
