Universal power law decay of spin polarization in double quantum dot

Abstract

We study the spin dynamics and spin noise in a double quantum dot taking into account the interplay between hopping, exchange interaction and the hyperfine interaction. At short time scales the spin relaxation is governed by the spin dephasing in the random nuclear fields. At long time scales the spin polarization obeys universal power law 1/t independent of the relation between all the parameters of the system. This effect is related to the competition between the spin blockade effect and the hyperfine interaction. The spin noise spectrum of the system universally diverges as ln(1/ω) at low frequencies.arXiv:1905.07305v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall]

Microscopic theory of organic magnetoresistance based on kinetic equations for quantum spin correlations

“…Even if due to some reason the probabilities of singlet and triplet states are conserved, their coherent combinations relax because the hopping i ↔ j can occur in the singlet state and cannot occur in a triplet state. Similar term appears in spin dynamic of a double quantum dot [34]. Eqs.…”

Electric current noise in mesoscopic organic semiconductors induced by nuclear spin fluctuations

“…In reality they can differ from chemical potentials in inorganic contacts due to the carrier injection. This situation as well as the underlying physics is similar to the double quantum dot system [29,30].…”

Optical measurement of electron spins in quantum dots: quantum Zeno effects

“…The Hamiltonian (1) describes a single quantum dot or an ensemble of isolated quantum dots, and is typically a good approximation due to the large band offsets and strong electron size quantization. However, the interaction can become important in the case of electron tunneling to the wetting layer of self-assembled quantum dots, 43 in specifically designed gate-defined double and triple quantum dots, [44][45][46] and especially in the case of electron localization at shallow donors. 47,48 In such cases, if the interaction strength between the electrons is comparable with the driving fields E + , the electron spin dynamics in the quantum Zeno subspace of the given total spin of electrons can take place.…”
