Spin-orbit-induced hole spin relaxation in a quantum dot molecule: the effect of $s$-$p$ coupling

Abstract

We study the effect of the coupling between the hole $s$ shell of one quantum dot and the $p$ shell in the other dot forming a quantum dot molecule on the spin relaxation between the sublevels of the hole $s$ state. Using an effective model that captures the spin-orbit effects in the $p$ shell irrespective of their origin, we show that the strong spin mixing in the $p$ shell can be transferred to the $s$ shell of the other dot, leading to enhanced spin relaxation in a certain energy range around the $s$-$p$ resonance if the dots are misaligned and the magnetic field is tilted from the sample plane.
