Direct observation of correlation time of dynamic nuclear polarization in single quantum dots

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The spin interaction between an electron and nuclei was investigated optically in a single self-assembled InAlAs quantum dot (QD). In spin dynamics, the correlation time of the coupled electron-nuclear spin system and the electron spin relaxation time play a crucial role. We examined on a positively charged exciton in a QD to evaluate these key time constants directly via the temporal evolution measurements of the Overhauser shift and the degree of circular polarization. In addition, the validity of our used spin dynamics model was discussed in the context of the experimentally obtained key parameters.
