Single hole spin relaxation probed by fast single-shot latched charge sensing

Fast Hole Tunneling Times in Germanium Hut Wires Probed by Single-Shot Reflectometry

Heavy holes confined in quantum dots are predicted to be promising candidates for the realization of spin qubits with long coherence times. Here we focus on such heavy-hole states confined in germanium hut wires. By tuning the growth density of the latter we can realize a T-like structure between two neighboring wires. Such a structure allows the realization of a charge sensor, which is electro...

Fast exciton spin relaxation in single quantum dots

Spin-coated polyethylene films probed by single molecules.

We have studied ultrathin spin-coated high-density polyethylene films by means of single-molecule spectroscopy and microscopy at 1.8 K. The films have been doped with 2.3,8.9-dibenzanthanthrene (DBATT) molecules, which function as local reporters of their immediate environment. The orientation distributions of single DBATT probe molecules in 100-200 nm thin films of high-density polyethylene di...

Three-dimensional fast-recovery fast spin-echo MRCP: comparison with two-dimensional single-shot fast spin-echo techniques.

PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the technical quality of and the visibility of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct on magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiopancreatographic (MRCP) images obtained with a single-breath-hold three-dimensional (3D) fast-recovery fast spin-echo (FRFSE) sequence in comparison with conventional two-dimensional (2D) single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) thin-section and t...

Single hole dynamics in dimerized spin liquids

The dynamics of a single hole in quantum antiferromagnets is influenced by magnetic fluctuations. In the present work we consider two situations. The first one corresponds to a single hole in the two leg t − J spin ladder. In this case the wave function renormalization is relatively small and the quasiparticle residue of the S = 1/2 state remains close to unity. However at large t/J there are h...
