量子点核自旋的退磁:核自旋温度方法的失败

Demagnetization of Quantum Dot Nuclear Spins: Breakdown of the Nuclear Spin Temperature Approach

P. Maletinsky, M. Kroner, A. Imamoglu

摘要:

在晶格中排列的相互作用的核自旋的物理学通常使用热力学框架来描述:在大块固态系统中的各种实验研究已经证明自旋温度的概念不仅是正确的,而且对于理解实验观察至关重要。利用退磁实验,我们证明了量子点的介观核自旋系综一般不能用自旋温度来描述。我们将所观察到的偏离热自旋状态与QD内的强四极相互作用的存在下,导致显着的非谐性的核自旋的光谱。应变引起的不均匀四极位移也导致核自旋系综与其环境之间的角动量交换完全抑制,导致核自旋弛豫时间超过一小时。值得注意的是,四极相互作用的位置相关轴使得磁场扫描固有地非绝热,从而导致核自旋极化的不可逆损失。

英文摘要:

The physics of interacting nuclear spins arranged in a crystalline lattice is typically described using a thermodynamic framework: a variety of experimental studies in bulk solid-state systems have proven the concept of a spin temperature to be not only correct but also vital for the understanding of experimental observations. Using demagnetization experiments we demonstrate that the mesoscopic nuclear spin ensemble of a quantum dot (QD) can in general not be described by a spin temperature. We associate the observed deviations from a thermal spin state with the presence of strong quadrupolar interactions within the QD that cause significant anharmonicity in the spectrum of the nuclear spins. Strain-induced, inhomogeneous quadrupolar shifts also lead to a complete suppression of angular momentum exchange between the nuclear spin ensemble and its environment, resulting in nuclear spin relaxation times exceeding an hour. Remarkably, the position dependent axes of quadrupolar interactions render magnetic field sweeps inherently non-adiabatic, thereby causing an irreversible loss of nuclear spin polarization.
