摘要:

研究了(In,Ga)As量子点中核自旋涨落在电子对核自旋动态极化中的作用.研究了横向磁场中圆偏振光抽运(Hanle效应)光致发光的偏振特性。利用平行于光轴的弱附加磁场来控制核自旋冷却的效率和核自旋温度的符号。汉勒曲线的形状随着控制场的变化而发生了很大的变化,正如之前在体半导体和量子阱中所观察到的那样。然而,在平均核磁场(Overhauser场)作用下的标准核自旋冷却理论,在一定的控制场范围内,不能描述实验上的Hanle曲线。这个争议是解决考虑到由于有限数量的原子核的量子点的核自旋波动。我们提出了一个模型,描述了在核自旋涨落的随机Overhauser场中,电子自旋经历快速矢量旋进对核自旋系统的冷却。该模型使我们能够准确地描述测量的汉勒曲线,并确定所研究的量子点的电子-核自旋系统的参数。

英文摘要:

The role of nuclear spin fluctuations in the dynamic polarization of nuclear spins by electrons is investigated in (In,Ga)As quantum dots. The photoluminescence polarization under circularly polarized optical pumping in transverse magnetic fields (Hanle effect) is studied. A weak additional magnetic field parallel to the optical axis is used to control the efficiency of nuclear spin cooling and the sign of nuclear spin temperature. The shape of the Hanle curve is drastically modified with changing this control field, as observed earlier in bulk semiconductors and quantum wells. However, the standard nuclear spin cooling theory, operating with the mean nuclear magnetic field (Overhauser field), fails to describe the experimental Hanle curves in a certain range of control fields. This controversy is resolved by taking into account the nuclear spin fluctuations owed to the finite number of nuclei in the quantum dot. We propose a model describing cooling of the nuclear spin system by electron spins experiencing fast vector precession in the random Overhauser fields of nuclear spin fluctuations. The model allows us to accurately describe the measured Hanle curves and to determine the parameters of the electron-nuclear spin system of the studied quantum dots.
