Decoherence of localized spins interacting via RKKY interaction
arXiv:cond-mat/0408375 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.72.033308
Abstract
We theoretically study decoherence of two localized spins interacting via the RKKY interaction in one-, two-, and three-dimensional electron gas. We derive the kinetic equation for the reduced density matrix of the localized spins and show that energy relaxation caused by singlet-triplet transition is suppressed when the RKKY interaction is ferromagnetic. We also estimate the decoherence time of the system consisting of two quantum dots embedded in a two dimensional electron gas.
