Temperature induced spin coherence dissipation in quantum dots

The temperature dependence of electron spin coherence in singly negatively charged (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots is studied by time-resolved Faraday rotation. The decoherence time T2 is constant on a microsecond scale for temperatures below 20 K, for higher temperatures it shows a surprisingly sharp drop into the nanoseconds range. The decrease cannot be explained through inelastic scattering with phonons, and may be related with elastic scattering due to phonon-mediated fluctuations of the hyperfine interaction.

Determination of spin polarization in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots

The spin polarization of electrons trapped in InAs self-assembled quantum dot ensembles is investigated. A statistical approach for the population of the spin levels allows one to infer the spin polarization from the measure values of the addition energies. From the magneto-capacitance spectroscopy data, the authors found a fully polarized ensemble of electronic spins above 10 T when $\mathbf{B}\parallel[001]$ and at 2.8 K. Finally, by including the g-tensor anisotropy the angular dependence of spin polarization with the magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ orientation and strength could be determined.

Robust manipulation of electron spin coherence in an ensemble of singly charged quantum dots

Using the recently reported mode locking effect we demonstrate a highly robust control of electron spin coherence in an ensemble of (In,Ga)As quantum dots during the single spin coherence time. The spin precession in a transverse magnetic field can be fully controlled up to 25 K by the parameters of the exciting pulsed laser protocol such as the pulse train sequence, leading to adjustable quantum beat bursts in Faraday rotation. Flipping of the electron spin precession phase was demonstrated by inverting the polarization within a pulse doublet sequence.
