Electric dipole spin resonance in single and two electron quantum dot defined in two-dimensional electron gas at the SrTiO${}_3$/LaAlO${}_3$ interface

Abstract

We investigate the energy spectrum of a single and two electron quantum dot (QD) embedded in two dimensional electron gas at the interface between SrTiO${}_3$ and LaAlO${}_3$, in the presence of the external magnetic field. For this purpose the three band model of $3d$-electrons defined on the square lattice of Ti ions was utilized. We demonstrate that, for the weak parabolic confinement potential, the low energy spectrum is sufficiently well described by the effective Hamiltonian reduced to the one $d_{xy}$ orbital with the spin-orbit interaction originating from the coupling to the $d_{xz}$, $d_{yz}$ bands. This is not the case for stronger confinement where contribution of the states related to the $d_{xz/yz}$ orbital is relevant. Based on the time depended calculations we discuss in details the manipulation of the electron spin in QD by external AC voltages, in the context of the electric dipole spin resonance. The allowed and forbidden transitions are discussed in details with respect to the parity selection rule. Our calculations show that for a single electron QD the spin-flip in the ground-state has a character of a Rabi resonance while for two electrons the singlet-triplet transition is forbidden by the parity symmetry. For the two electrons QD, we demonstrate that the spin-flip transition can still be accomplished via a second-order, two-photon process that has a two-state Rabi character for low AC field amplitude. The violation of the parity symmetry on the spin-flip transitions is also analyzed.
