摘要:

我们研究了通过光抽运嵌入CdTe/ZnTe量子点中的单个Mn原子的自旋制备效率。在单个量子点中的共振光泵浦过程期间监测荧光强度的时间依赖性允许直接探测Mn自旋初始化的动态。该技术提供了在同一步骤中包括Mn自旋的制备和读出的便利。我们的测量表明,当激光共振驱动饱和的一个量子点跃迁时,在零磁场下,锰自旋初始化的效率可以达到75%,并且发生在数十个\emph{ns}范围内。我们观察到光抽运效率随点的不同而变化,并且在Voigt或Faraday结构中受到几十mT的磁场的影响。这归因于Mn位置处的局部应变分布,其主要决定了Mn自旋在弱磁场下的动力学。量子点的自旋翻转散射光子的光谱分布呈现出弱的光泵浦效率,揭示了Mn自旋交换场中激子分裂的显著自旋弛豫。

英文摘要:

We have investigated the spin preparation efficiency by optical pumping of individual Mn atoms embedded in CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. Monitoring the time dependence of the intensity of the fluorescence during the resonant optical pumping process in individual quantum dots allows to directly probe the dynamics of the initialization of the Mn spin. This technique presents the convenience of including preparation and read-out of the Mn spin in the same step. Our measurements demonstrate that Mn spin initialization, at zero magnetic field, can reach an efficiency of 75% and occurs in the tens of \emph{ns} range when a laser resonantly drives at saturation one of the quantum dot transition. We observe that the efficiency of optical pumping changes from dot to dot and is affected by a magnetic field of a few tens of mT applied in Voigt or Faraday configuration. This is attributed to the local strain distribution at the Mn location which predominantly determines the dynamics of the Mn spin under weak magnetic field. The spectral distribution of the spin-flip scattered photons from quantum dots presenting a weak optical pumping efficiency reveals a significant spin relaxation for the exciton split in the exchange field of the Mn spin.
