Nuclear spin dynamics in parabolic quantum wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the nuclear spin dynamics in parabolic quantum wells. The shallow potential of parabolic quantum wells permits substantial modification of the electronic wave function in small electric fields. The nuclear spin relaxation via the hyperfine interaction depends on the electronic local density of states, therefore the local nuclear relaxation time depends sensitively on the electric field. For an inhomogeneous nuclear magnetization, such as generated by dynamic nuclear polarization, the total nuclear magnetization dynamics can similarly be altered. We examine this effect quantitatively and the effect of temperature, field, well thickness, and nuclear spin diffusion.

Dynamic 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...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields From Nuclear Polarization in Parabolic Quantum Wells
We present analytical results for the position and time dependence of dynamic nuclear polarization in parabolic quantum wells. As a result of the hyperfine interaction, induced nuclear fields in the sample can be as high as a few gauss, leading to a nuclear magnetic resonance frequency shift of the order of kilohertz. We find that the particular geometry of the parabolic quantum well permits ef...
متن کاملTwo-subband quantum Hall effect in parabolic quantum wells
The low-temperature magnetoresistance of parabolic quantum wells displays pronounced minima between integer filling factors. Concomitantly the Hall effect exhibits overshoots and plateaulike features next to well-defined ordinary quantum Hall plateaus. These effects set in with the occupation of the second subband. We discuss our observations in the context of single-particle Landau fan charts ...
متن کاملTerahertz Emission From Magneto-plasma Oscillations in Semiconductors
Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy can be used to probe charge and spin dynamics in semiconductors. We have studied THz emission from bulk InAs and GaAs and from GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells as a function of magnetic field. Ultrashort pulses of THz radiation were produced at semiconductor surfaces by photoexcitation with a femtosecond TiSapphire laser, and we recorded the THz emission spectrum and t...
متن کاملSpin noise spectroscopy in GaAs (110) quantum wells: access to intrinsic spin lifetimes and equilibrium electron dynamics.
In this Letter, the first spin noise spectroscopy measurements in semiconductor systems of reduced effective dimensionality are reported. The nondemolition measurement technique gives access to the otherwise concealed intrinsic, low temperature electron spin relaxation time of n-doped GaAs (110) quantum wells and to the corresponding low temperature anisotropic spin relaxation. The Brownian mot...
