Determination of spin polarization in InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots

Materials Science 2008-04-04 v2

Abstract

The spin polarization of electrons trapped in InAs self-assembled quantum dot ensembles is investigated. A statistical approach for the population of the spin levels allows one to infer the spin polarization from the measure values of the addition energies. From the magneto-capacitance spectroscopy data, the authors found a fully polarized ensemble of electronic spins above 10 T when B[001]\mathbf{B}\parallel[001] and at 2.8 K. Finally, by including the g-tensor anisotropy the angular dependence of spin polarization with the magnetic field B\mathbf{B} orientation and strength could be determined.
