Pumping of nuclear spins by the optical solid effect in a quantum dot
E. A. Chekhovich, M. N. Makhonin, K. V. Kavokin +3
We demonstrate that efficient optical pumping of nuclear spins in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can be achieved by resonant pumping of optically "forbidden" transitions. This pr…
Polarization freezing of 10000 optically-cooled nuclear spins by coupling to a single electron
E. A. Chekhovich, M. N. Makhonin, J. Skiba-Szymanska +5
The nature of the nano-scale environment presents a major challenge for solid-state implementation of spin-based qubits. In this work, a single electron spin in an optically pumped…
Voltage controlled nuclear polarization switching in a single InGaAs quantum dot
M. N. Makhonin, J. Skiba-Szymanska, M. S. Skolnick +3
Sharp threshold-like transitions between two stable nuclear spin polarizations are observed in optically pumped individual InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots embedded in a Schottky…
Suppression of nuclear spin diffusion at a GaAs/AlGaAs interface measured with a single quantum dot nano-probe
A. E. Nikolaenko, E. A. Chekhovich, M. N. Makhonin +7
Nuclear spin polarization dynamics are measured in optically pumped individual GaAs/AlGaAs interface quantum dots by detecting the time-dependence of the Overhauser shift in photol…
