Decoherence 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 کاملNuclear-spin-induced oscillatory current in spin-blockaded quantum dots.
We show experimentally that electron transport through GaAs-based double quantum dots can be affected by ambient nuclear spin states in a certain regime where transport is blocked in the absence of electron spin flip. Current through the dots oscillates in time with a period up to 200 s depending on magnetic field. Oscillation is quenched by application of a continuous wave ac magnetic field wh...
متن کاملSpin hot spots in single - electron GaAs - based quantum dots
Spin relaxation of a single electron in a weakly coupled double quantum dot is calculated numerically. The phonon-assisted spin flip is allowed by the presence of the linear and cubic spin– orbit couplings and nuclear spins. The rate is calculated as a function of the interdot coupling, the magnetic field strength and orientation, and the dot bias. In an in-plane magnetic field, the rate is str...
متن کاملDynamics of the Overhauser field under nuclear spin diffusion in a quantum dot
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 s...
متن کاملQuenching of dynamic nuclear polarization by spin–orbit coupling in GaAs quantum dots
The central-spin problem is a widely studied model of quantum decoherence. Dynamic nuclear polarization occurs in central-spin systems when electronic angular momentum is transferred to nuclear spins and is exploited in quantum information processing for coherent spin manipulation. However, the mechanisms limiting this process remain only partially understood. Here we show that spin-orbit coupl...
