Dynamics of the Overhauser field under nuclear spin diffusion in a quantum dot
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coherence of electron spins can be enhanced significantly by preparing the nuclear spin polarizations to generate an Overhauser field with small fluctuations. We propose a theoretical model for calculating the long time dynamics of the prepared Overhauser field under nuclear spin diffusion in a quantum dot. We obtained a simplified diffusion equation that can be numerically solved, and we show quantitatively how the Knight shift and the electronmediated nuclear spin flip-flops affect the nuclear spin diffusion. The results explain several recent experimental observations, where the measured decay time of the Overhauser field is dependent on the external magnetic field, electron spin state in double quantum dots and initial nuclear spin polarization rate.

Self-sustaining dynamical nuclear polarization oscillations in quantum dots.
Early experiments on spin-blockaded double quantum dots revealed robust, large-amplitude current oscillations in the presence of a static (dc) source-drain bias. Despite experimental evidence implicating dynamical nuclear polarization, the mechanism has remained a mystery. Here we introduce a minimal albeit realistic model of coupled electron and nuclear spin dynamics which supports self-sustai...
متن کاملSemiclassical model for the dephasing of a two-electron spin qubit coupled to a coherently evolving nuclear spin bath
We study electron spin decoherence in a two-electron double quantum dot due to the hyperfine interaction, under spin-echo conditions as studied in recent experiments. We develop a semiclassical model for the interaction between the electron and nuclear spins, in which the time-dependent Overhauser fields induced by the nuclear spins are treated as classical vector variables. Comparison of the m...
متن کاملMeasurement of temporal correlations of the overhauser field in a double quantum dot.
In quantum dots made from materials with nonzero nuclear spins, hyperfine coupling creates a fluctuating effective Zeeman field (Overhauser field) felt by electrons, which can be a dominant source of spin qubit decoherence. We characterize the spectral properties of the fluctuating Overhauser field in a GaAs double quantum dot by measuring correlation functions and power spectra of the rate of ...
متن کاملSteady-state entanglement in the nuclear spin dynamics of a double quantum dot.
We propose a scheme for the deterministic generation of steady-state entanglement between the two nuclear spin ensembles in an electrically defined double quantum dot. Because of quantum interference in the collective coupling to the electronic degrees of freedom, the nuclear system is actively driven into a two-mode squeezedlike target state. The entanglement buildup is accompanied by a self-p...
متن کاملDynamical polarization effect of nuclear spin bath dragged by electron spin resonance in double quantum dot integrated with micro-magnet
We studied on Overhauser shift of electron dipole spin resonance (EDSR) peaks by using a double quantum dot integrated with a micro-magnet. Two EDSR peaks are well resolved, reflecting electron spin flip events at different resonance conditions between two dots, which depend on the in-plane field at the two dots produced by a micro magnet. One of the two peaks is significantly higher than the o...
