Spin coherence generation and detection in spherical nanocrystals

Abstract: A theoretical description of electron spin orientation and detection by short optical pulses is proposed for ensembles of singly charged semiconductor nanocrystals. The complex structure of the valence band in spherical nanocrystals is taken into account. We demonstrate that the direction of electron spin injected by the pump pulse depends on both the pump pulse helicity and the pump pulse power. It is shown that a train of optical pulses can lead to the complete orientation of the resident electron spin. The … Show more

“…x , S (0) y , and S (0) z . Indeed, similarly to the previously studied situation of the QD without the cavity [7,43,50,51] the circularly polarized pulse induces spin rotation in the (xy) plane. The spin rotation angle induced by the control pulse is defined from the phase of the spin beats in Eqs.…”

“…To that end we apply the quantum-mechanical model developed in Refs. [18,42]. It follows then that the spin components before, S − α (α = x, y, z), and immediately after, S + α , a single pump pulse accounting for the saturation effect are related as [6,18,42]…”
