Abstract

AbstractThe spin dynamics of resident holes in singly p-doped InAs/GaAs quantum dots is studied by pump-probe photo-induced circular dichroism experiments. We show that the hole spin dephasing is controlled by the hyperfine interaction between the hole spin and nuclear spins. We find a characteristic hole spin dephasing time of 12 ns, in close agreement with our calculations based on a dipole-dipole coupling between the hole and the quantum dot nuclei. Finally we demonstrate that a small external magnetic field, typically 10 mT, quenches the hyperfine hole spin dephasing.
