Electrically tunable dynamic nuclear spin polarization in GaAs quantum dots at zero magnetic field
In III-V semiconductor nano-structures, the electron and nuclear spin dynamics are strongly coupled. Both spin systems can be controlled optically. The nuclear spin dynamics are widely studied, but little is known about the initialization mechanisms....
We have measured the donor-bound electron spin dynamics in cubic GaN by time-resolved Kerr rotation experiments. The ensemble electron spin dephasing time in this quantum-dot-like system characterized by a Bohr radius of 2.5 nm is of the order of 1.5...
We investigate exciton dynamics in WSe bilayers in time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Fast PL emission times are recorded for both the direct exciton with τ ≲3 ps and the indirect optical transition with τ ≈25 ps. For temperatures bet...
We have investigated the exciton dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers using time-resolved photoluminescence experiments performed with optimized time resolution. For MoSe2 monolayer, we measure τrad0=1.8±0.2ps at T=7K that we interp...
We combine linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy at 4 K with ab initio calculations to study the electronic bandstructure of MoSe monolayers. In one-photon photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and reflectivity we measure a separation between the A-...
Optical interband transitions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides such as WSe2 and MoS2 are governed by chiral selection rules. This allows efficient optical initialization of an electron in a specific K valley in momentum space. Here we pr...
We study the electron spin relaxation in both symmetric and asymmetric GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) grown on (110) substrates in an external magnetic field B applied along the QW normal. The spin polarization is induced by circularly polarized lig...
The electron spin dynamics is studied by time-resolved Kerr rotation in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells embedded in NIP structures grown on (111)A or (111)B-oriented substrates. In both cases the spin lifetimes are significantly increased by applying an ex...
We show that the light-matter interaction in monolayer WSe2 is strongly enhanced when the incoming electromagnetic wave is in resonance with the energy of the exciton states of strongly Coulomb bound electron-hole pairs below the electronic band gap....
