Electron g-factor Engineering in III-V Semiconductors for Quantum Communications

چکیده
An entanglement-preserving photo-detector converts photon polarization to electron spin. Up and down spin must respond equally to oppositely polarized photons, creating a requirement for degenerate spin energies, ge ≈0 for electrons. We present a plot of ge-factor versus lattice constant, analogous to bandgap versus lattice constant, that can be used for g-factor engineering of III-V alloys and quan-

Landé factors and orbital momentum quenching in semiconductor quantum dots.
We show that electron and hole Landé g factors in self-assembled III-V quantum dots have a rich structure intermediate between that of paramagnetic atomic impurities and bulk semiconductors. Strain, dot geometry, and confinement energy modify the effective g factors, yet are insufficient to explain our results. We find that the dot's discrete energy spectrum quenches the orbital angular momentu...
متن کاملQuadrupolar and anisotropy effects on dephasing in two-electron spin qubits in GaAs.
Understanding the decoherence of electron spins in semiconductors due to their interaction with nuclear spins is of fundamental interest as they realize the central spin model and of practical importance for using them as qubits. Interesting effects arise from the quadrupolar interaction of nuclear spins with electric field gradients, which have been shown to suppress diffusive nuclear spin dyn...
متن کاملQuantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...

متن کاملDynamic nuclear Overhauser shifts in Larmor beats from a quantum well
The significance of nuclear spin polarisation in time-resolved optical studies of III-V semiconductors is addressed. Electron Larmor beats in pump-probe reflectivity from a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well show Overhauser shift of 0.7 T due to accumulated nuclear polarisation 〈I〉/I=0.065. This leads to precision values of electron g-factor, elucidates nuclear spin pumping and diffusion mechanisms in qu...
