Evidence of Correlation in Spin Excitations of Few-Electron Quantum Dots

Evidence of Correlation in Spin Excitations of Few-Electron Quantum Dots

We report inelastic light scattering measurements of spin and charge excitations in nanofabricated AlGaAs/GaAs quantum dots with few electrons. A narrow spin excitation peak is observed and assigned to the intershell triplet-to-singlet monopole mode of dots with four electrons. Configurationinteraction theory provides precise quantitative interpretations that uncover large correlation effects …
