Abstract

Abstract We have investigated the optical orientation dynamics of positively charged excitons in p‐doped InAs/GaAs quantum dots. We observe a hole spin memory effect in photoluminescence experiments. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Observation of spin relaxation in self‐assembled InAlAs quantum dots by using four‐wave mixing technique

S. Adachi, Takeo Watanuki, Hirotaka Sasakura +1 more

Exciton spin relaxation in self-assembled InAlAs quantum dots were investigated by three-pulse four-wave mixing under resonant conditions. The concept of the spin grating holds well for quantum dots and the measurements combined with optical heterodyne detection at 10 K demonstrates that the exciton spin relaxation last up to a few ns and the time constant is ∼5 times larger than the exciton recombination time in average.

Entanglement‐buildup through charged‐exciton decay in a semiconductor quantum dot

Ulrich Hohenester, Claudia Sifel

We analyze the decay of a single-electron charged exciton in a quantum dot embedded in a field effect structure. We show how the quantum properties of the charged exciton are transferred through tunneling and relaxation to the spin entanglement between electrons in the dot and contact, carefully examine the proper theoretical description of the underlying scattering processes, and identify the pertinent disentanglement mechanisms.

Spin control by ultra short laser pulses in a Mn doped quantum dot

Doris E. Reiter, V. M. Axt, T. Kühn

Abstract Optically induced spin flip processes in quantum dots doped with a single Mn atom are discussed. On the femtosecond time scale the exciton can be controlled by ultra short laser pulses. Via the exchange interaction the Mn spin can flip on a picosecond time scale by transferring its angular momentum to the exciton. For a heavy hole system this flipping process can be described in terms of exchange‐induced Rabi oscillations between the bright and dark exciton state accompanied by a flip of the Mn spin. Because of the energy splitting between bright and dark excitons the Rabi oscillations are off‐resonant and a series of laser pulses is required to achieve a complete flip. When a light hole exciton is resonantly excited in addition to the heavy hole exciton we show that a flip of the Mn spin by two can be achieved by a series of light pulses while the exciton system returns to its initial state.

Coherent control of ground state excitons in the nonlinear regime within an ensemble of self‐assembled InAs quantum dots

Thomas Moldaschl, Thomas G. Muller, Sebastian Golka +3 more

Abstract In this work femtosecond spectral hole burning spectroscopy is used to resonantly excite ground state excitons in an ensemble of self‐assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots with a strong pump pulse. Two fundamental coherent nonlinear effects are observed with the aid of the intrinsic time‐ and frequency resolution of the setup: The low temperature Rabi oscillation of the two‐level system associated with the excitonic ground state transition and the observation of two‐photon absorption in the surrounding GaAs crystal matrix. The emergence of the latter effect also infers the existence of charged excitons in the nominally undoped QD sample, backed up by the observation of additional spectral holes next to the excitonic transitions.

Optical spin polarization in negatively charged InAs self‐assembled quantum dots under applied electric field

Vladimir K. Kalevich, Michio Ikezawa, Tsuyoshi Okuno +5 more

Abstract We have studied the influence of an external electric field on the optical spin polarization of initially negatively charged InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs). The spin polarization of the carriers was controlled by measuring the photoluminescence (PL) circular polarization. We have found that the PL polarization of the QD is negative under an excitation above the GaAs barrier, and that it becomes positive under an excitation below the barrier. An applied negative electric field destroys both positive and negative polariza‐tion. The time decay of the negative polarization was found from time‐resolved measurements to exceed strongly the QD radiative lifetime. This fact indicates a long‐living spin memory in the dots under study.

Optically Driven Spin Memory in n -Doped InAs-GaAs Quantum Dots

S. Cortez, O. Krebs, S. Laurent +7 more

We show that the spin state of the resident electron in an n-doped self-assembled InAs-GaAs quantum dot can be written and read using nonresonant, circularly polarized optical pumping. A simple theoretical model is presented and accounts for the remarkable dynamics producing counterpolarized photoluminescence.
