Abstract
Time-resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy is used to study the electron spin coherence in colloidal CdS quantum dots. Long-lived spin coherence with dephasing time T2*>3ns has been found at room temperature. Spin dynamics unaffected by the faster carrier recombination suggests the spin signal coming from the residual electrons in the dots. A small external transverse magnetic field of 50 mT can extend T2* ∼ 2 times longer compared with that in zero magnetic field. Hyperfine interaction between electron and nuclear spins limits the dephasing time in zero or low magnetic field, while for higher magnetic fields, inhomogeneous dephasing becomes to dominate the spin dynamics.
