Abstract

We study single electron transport across a single Bi dopant in a Silicon Nanotransistor to assess how the strong hyperfine coupling with the Bi nuclear spin I=9/2I=9/2 affects the transport characteristics of the device. In the sequential tunneling regime we find that at, temperatures in the range of 100mK100 mK, dI/dVdI/dV curves reflect the zero field hyperfine splitting as well as its evolution under an applied magnetic field. Our non-equilibrium quantum simulations show that nuclear spins can be partially polarized parallel or antiparallel to the electronic spin just tuning the applied bias.
