Zeeman Energy and Spin Relaxation in a One-Electron Quantum Dot
Zeeman Energy and Spin Relaxation in a One-Electron Quantum Dot
We have measured the relaxation time, T1, of the spin of a single electron confined in a semiconductor quantum dot (a proposed quantum bit). In a magnetic field, applied parallel to the two-dimensional electron gas in which the quantum dot is defined, Zeeman splitting of the orbital states is directly …
