Electron spin coherence near room temperature in magnetic quantum dots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on an example of confined magnetic ions with long spin coherence near room temperature. This was achieved by confining single Mn(2+) spins in colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and by dispersing the QDs in a proton-spin free matrix. The controlled suppression of Mn-Mn interactions and minimization of Mn-nuclear spin dipolar interactions result in unprecedentedly long phase memory (TM ~ 8 μs) and spin-lattice relaxation (T1 ~ 10 ms) time constants for Mn(2+) ions at T = 4.5 K, and in electron spin coherence observable near room temperature (TM ~ 1 μs).

Generating, manipulating and detecting electron spin polarization and coherence at room temperature is at the heart of future spintronics and spin-based quantum information technology. Spin filtering, which is a key issue for spintronic applications, has been demonstrated by using ferromagnetic metals, diluted magnetic semiconductors, quantum point contacts, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, mult...
متن کاملCoherence and Spin in GaAs Quantum Dots
This thesis describes a number of experiments performed in quantum dots as well as 2D systems fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs 2D electron gases. The focus of the studies is set on spin, coherence and interaction effects of electrons in mesoscopic structures. Experiments investigating the rich physics of spin-orbit coupling in confined structures in presence of magnetic fields both perpendicular and p...
متن کاملDecoherence and fluctuation dynamics of the quantum dot nuclear spin bath probed by nuclear magnetic resonance
Dynamics of nuclear spin decoherence and nuclear spin flip-flops in self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are studied experimentally using optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Nuclear spin-echo decay times are found to be in the range 1-4 ms. This is a factor of ~3 longer than in strain-free GaAs/AlGaAs structures and is shown to result from strain-induced quadrupolar effects ...
متن کاملSlow Light by Electromagnetically Induced Transparency ( EIT ) in Semiconductors
The ability to controllably slow down the propagation of light pulses can enable a variety of important applications. In recent years, two different approaches have been pursued for slow light. One approach explores dispersion engineering with passive optical elements such as resonators, filters, and photonic bandgap structures. The other approach takes advantage of coherent nonlinear optical p...
