摘要:

当面外磁场产生自旋极化的量子霍尔边缘态时,GaAs量子点接触(QPC)中通常会产生核自旋极化,并且偏压通过电子-核触发器散射驱动边缘态之间的跃迁。在这里,我们报告了一个类似的效果QPC在平面内磁场,电流自旋极化,但边缘状态没有形成。核极化引起的直流输运特性的滞后,与弛豫时间尺度约100秒。异常QPC电导特征对核极化的依赖性提供了一个有用的测试它们的自旋敏感性。

英文摘要:

Nuclear spin polarization is typically generated in GaAs quantum point contacts (QPCs) when an out-of-plane magnetic field gives rise to spin-polarized quantum Hall edge states, and a voltage bias drives transitions between the edge states via electron-nuclear flip-flop scattering. Here, we report a similar effect for QPCs in an in-plane magnetic field, where currents are spin polarized but edge states are not formed. The nuclear polarization gives rise to hysteresis in the d.c. transport characteristics, with relaxation timescales around 100 seconds. The dependence of anomalous QPC conductance features on nuclear polarization provides a useful test of their spin-sensitivity.
