Abstract

Influence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) on the energy spectrum is studied for single uncapped InAs self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) holding just a few electrons. We measure Coulomb oscillations with magnetic field, and identify lifting of spin doublets in the low field range and transitions in the ground states with keeping the total angular momentum in the high field range. Both of these features are induced by large Zeeman splitting in the present SAQDs. For the ground state transitions, anti-crossing due to the SOI hybridization between the ground and excited states with opposite spins is observed in the excitation spectra, and the SOI energy of about 0.1 meV is evaluated from the anti-crossing size. This energy is comparable to that of previous report on InAs nanowires, and reproduced by simple calculation using the g-factor also derived in the excitation spectra.
