We find that photoexcited electrons in an n-GaAs epilayer rapidly (< 50 ps) spin-polarize due to the proximity of an epitaxial ferromagnetic metal. Comparison between MnAs/GaAs and Fe/GaAs structures reveals that this coherent spin…

We have studied the electron spin coherence in an ensemble of positively charged InAs/GaAs quantum dots. In a transverse magnetic field, we show that two main contributions must be taken into account to explain the damping of the circular…

We study theoretically the cooling of an ensemble of nuclear spins coupled to the spin of a localized electron in a quantum dot. We obtain a master equation for the state of the nuclear spins interacting with a sequence of polarized…

We consider, in the framework of the central spin $s=1/2$ model, driven dynamics of two electrons in a double quantum dot subject to hyperfine interaction with nuclear spins and spin-orbit coupling. The nuclear subsystem dynamically evolves…

We propose schemes to produce highly nuclear-spin polarized small molecules in an intense and cold molecular beam via microwave or infrared rotational excitation, followed by hyperfine-induced quantum beats. Repumping schemes can be used to…

Dynamic nuclear polarization experiments use microwave irradiation to transfer the larger electron polarization to nuclear spins of interest, and thus enhance the NMR transitions above thermal equilibrium. How the polarization transfer from…

We simulate the control of the spin states in a two-electron double quantum dot when an external detuning potential is used for passing the system through an anticrossing. The hyperfine coupling of the electron spins with the surrounding…

Spin-flip rates in GaAs quantum dots can be quite slow, thus opening up the possibilities to manipulate spin states in the dots. We present here estimations of inelastic spin-flip rates mediated by hyperfine interaction with nuclei. Under…

Solid-state spins hold many promises for quantum information processing. Entangling the polarization of a single photon to the state of a single spin would open new paradigms in quantum optics like delayed-photons entanglement,…

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…

We measure the strength and the sign of hyperfine interaction of a heavy-hole with nuclear spins in single self-assembled quantum dots. Our experiments utilize the locking of a quantum dot resonance to an incident laser frequency to…

In pulsed dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), enhancement of the polarization of bulk nuclei requires the repeated application of a microwave pulse sequence. So far, analysis of a one-time transfer of electron spin polarization to a…

We discuss a feedback mechanism between electronic states in a double quantum dot and the underlying nuclear spin bath. We analyze two pumping cycles for which this feedback provides a force for the Overhauser fields of the two dots to…

We study a large ensemble of nuclear spins interacting with a single electron spin in a quantum dot under optical excitation and photon detection. When a pair of applied laser fields satisfy two-photon resonance between the two ground…

The study of nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation was conducted in an asymmetrically doped to $n\sim1.8\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ 16 nm AlAs quantum well grown in the $[001]$-direction. Dynamic polarization of…

The Overhauser effect (OE) and the Solid effect (SE) are two Dynamic Nuclear Polarization techniques. These two-spin techniques are widely used to create nonequilibrium nuclear spin states having polarization far beyond its equilibrium…

We demonstrate a scheme for optically patterning nuclear spin polarization in semiconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures. A scanning time-resolved Kerr rotation microscope is used to image the nuclear spin polarization that results when…

Superradiance of nuclear spins is considered, when the nuclei interact via hyperfine forces with electrons of a ferromagnet. The consideration is based on a microscopic model. If the sample, coupled with a resonant electric circuit,…

Spin-blockaded quantum dots provide a unique setting for studying nuclear-spin dynamics in a nanoscale system. Despite recent experimental progress, observing phase-sensitive phenomena in nuclear spin dynamics remains challenging. Here we…

Dynamic nuclear polarisation, which transfers the spin polarisation of electrons to nuclei, is routinely applied to enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance; it is also critical in spintronics, particularly when spin…
