随机Berry相引起的自旋退相

Spin dephasing due to a random Berry phase

Pablo San-Jose, Gerd Schön, Alexander Shnirman, Gergely Zarand

摘要:

本文研究了半导体量子点中电子自旋在自旋轨道耦合作用下的弛豫和退相。即使在消失的磁场中,B = 0,与电子的轨道自由度耦合的缓慢噪声也会导致自旋的失相,这是由于自旋获得的随机的、通常非阿贝尔的Berry相位。为了说明,我们首先提出了一个简单的准经典描述,然后考虑一个模型,只有2个轨道状态,最后提出了一个微扰量子处理适合于一个现实的(大致抛物线,不太强的限制)量子点中的电子。我们进一步比较了不同噪声源的影响。虽然在大磁场声子主导的弛豫过程,在低场电子空穴激发和可能的1/f噪声可能占主导地位。

英文摘要:

We investigate relaxation and dephasing of an electron spin confined in a semiconductor quantum dot and subject to spin-orbit coupling. Even in vanishing magnetic field, B = 0, slow noise coupling to the electron's orbital degree of freedom leads to dephasing of the spin due to a random, in general non-Abelian Berry phase acquired by the spin. For illustration we first present a simple quasiclassical description, then consider a model with 2 orbital states only, and finally present a perturbative quantum treatment appropriate for an electron in a realistic (roughly parabolic, not too strongly confining) quantum dot. We further compare the effect of different sources of noise. While at large magnetic fields phonons dominate the relaxation processes, at low fields electron-hole excitations and possibly 1/f noise may dominate.
