Nuclear spin effects in semiconductor quantum dots.
The interaction of an electronic spin with its nuclear environment, an issue known as the central spin problem, has been the subject of considerable attention due to its relevance for spin-based quantum computation using semiconductor quantum dots. Independent control of the nuclear spin bath using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and dynamic nuclear polarization using the central spin its...
متن کاملNuclear spin switch in semiconductor quantum dots.
We show that by illuminating an InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot with circularly polarized light, the nuclei of atoms constituting the dot can be driven into a bistable regime, in which either a thresholdlike enhancement or reduction of the local nuclear field by up to 3 T can be generated by varying the pumping intensity. The excitation power threshold for such a nuclear spin "switch" is...
متن کاملElectron Spin Relaxation in a Semiconductor Quantum Well
A fully microscopic theory of electron spin relaxation by the D’yakonov-Perel’ type spin-orbit coupling is developed for a semiconductor quantum well in an ambient magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the well. We derive Bloch equations for an electron spin in the well and determine explicit microscopic expressions for the spin relaxation times. The dependencies of the electron ...
متن کاملStrain-assisted spin manipulation in a quantum well
We show that the efficiency of manipulating electron spins in semiconductor quantum wells can be enhanced by tuning strain strengths. The combined effects of intrinsic and strain-induced spinorbit couplings vary for different quantum wells, which provide an alternative route to understand the experimental phenomena brought in by the strain. The contribution to the electron-dipole-spin-resonance...
متن کاملNuclear Spin Phenomena in Optically Active Semiconductor Quantum Dots
The motivating background for this thesis lies in the recent development in the coherent optical control of electron spin states in semiconductor quantum dots. One possible and attractive application for these achievements is a physical implementation of a quantum computer based on spin qubits (quantum bit) in quantum dots. However, one of the obstacles in building such quantum computer is deco...
