Controlling electron spins strongly coupled to magnetic and nuclear spins in solid state systems is an important challenege in the field of spintronics and quantum computation. We show here that electron droplets with no net spin in…
The concept of nuclear spin temperature has been a cornerstone of the theory of dynamic nuclear spin polarization by electrons in various semiconductor structures for decades. Still, it is not always applicable to strongly localized…
Topological insulators are promising for spintronics and related technologies due to their spin-momentum-locked edge states, which are protected by time-reversal symmetry. In addition to the unique fundamental physics that arises in these…
Optical and electrical control of the nuclear spin system allows enhancing the sensitivity of NMR applications and spin-based information storage and processing. Dynamic nuclear polarization in semiconductors is commonly achieved in the…
In moderately strong magnetic fields, the difference in Lande g-factors in each of the dots of a coupled double quantum dot device may induce oscillations between singlet and triplet states of the entangled electron pair and lead to a…
We theoretically investigate dynamic nuclear spin polarization in a self-assembled quantum dot pumped optically by two laser beams. With the assumption that a noncollinear interaction between the hole spin and nuclear spins leads to nuclear…
Nuclear quadrupole interaction extends the limits imposed by hyperfine interaction on the spin coherence of the electron and nuclei in a quantum dot. The strain-induced nuclear quadrupole interaction suppresses the nuclear spin flip and…
We report on experiments that quantify the role of a central electronic spin as a relaxation source for nuclear spins in its nanoscale environment. Our strategy exploits hyperpolarization injection from the electron as a means to…
The phenomenon of polarization of nuclei in the process of stimulated recombination of atoms in the field of circularly polarized laser radiation is considered. This effect is considered for the case of the proton-electron beams used in the…
A quasi-classical theoretical description of polarization and relaxation of nuclear spins in a quantum dot with one resident electron is developed for arbitrary mechanisms of electron spin polarization. The dependence of the…
We demonstrate dynamical nuclear spin polarization in the absence of an external magnetic field, by resonant circularly polarized optical excitation of a single electron or hole charged quantum dot. Optical pumping of the electron spin…
We devise an approach to measure the polarization of nuclear spins via conductance measurements. Specifically, we study the combined effect of external magnetic field, nuclear spin polarization, and Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the…
Hyperfine interactions between electron and nuclear spins in the quantum Hall regime provide powerful means for manipulation and detection of nuclear spins. In this work we demonstrate that significant changes in nuclear spin polarization…
We show that the low lying spin states of two electrons in a semiconductor quantum dot can be strongly mixed by electron-electron asymmetric exchange. This mixing is generated by the coupling of electron spin to its orbital motion and to…
We report successful manipulation of non-classical atomic spin states. We generate squeezed spin states by a spin quantum nondemolition measurement, and apply an off-resonant circularly-polarized light pulse to the atoms. By changing the…
Techniques for coherent control of electron spin-nuclear spin interactions in quantum dots can be directly applied in spintronics and in quantum information processing. In this work we study numerically the interaction of electron and…
We have studied hyperfine interactions between spin-polarized electrons and lattice nuclei in Al_0.1Ga_0.9As/GaAs quantum well (QW) heterostructures. The spin-polarized electrons are electrically injected into the semiconductor…
We consider a semiconducting carbon nanotube (CNT) laying on a ferromagnetic insulating sub-strate with one end depassing the substrate and suspended over a metallic gate. We assume that the polarised substrate induces an exchange…
Recent progress in experimental studies of low-dimensional systems with strong spin-orbit coupling poses a question on the effect of this coupling on the energy spectrum of electrons in semiconductor nanostructures. It is shown in the paper…
Quantum computing and quantum communication are remarkable examples of new information processing technologies that arise from the coherent manipulation of spins in nanostructures. We review our theoretical proposal for using electron spins…
