Long nuclear spin decay times controlled by optical pumping in individual quantum dots
M. N. Makhonin, A. I. Tartakovskii, I. Drouzas +8
Nuclear polarization dynamics are measured in the nuclear spin bi-stability regime in a single optically pumped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot. The controlling role of nuclear spin diffus…

Nuclear Spin Switch in Semiconductor Quantum Dots
A. I. Tartakovskii, T. Wright, A. Russell +10
We show that by illuminating an InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot with circularly polarized light, the nuclei of atoms constituting the dot can be driven into a bistable regim…
