We demonstrated the cancellation of the external magnetic field by the nuclear field at one edge of the nuclear polarization bistability in single InAlAs quantum dots. The cancellation for the electron Zeeman splitting gives the precise value of the hole g-factor. By combining with the exciton g-factor that is obtained from the Zeeman splitting for linearly polarized excitation, the magnitude and sign of the electron and hole g-factors in the growth direction are evaluated.

The electron and hole g factors are the key quantities for the spin manipulations in semiconductor quantum nanostructures. However, for the individual nanostructures, the separate determination including the signs of those g factors is difficult by u sing some methods adopted conventionally in bulks and quantum wells. We report a convenient optical method for the sign identification of out-of-plane g factors in the individual quantum nanostructures, which utilizes the optically-induced nuclear spin switch. The method is demonstrated in typical single self-assembled In$_{0.75}$Al$_{0.25}$As/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As quantum dots and InAs/GaAs quantum rings, where the g factors with the opposite sign for electron and the same sign for hole are proved.
Electrically tunable g-factors in quantum dots are highly desirable for applications in quantum computing and spintronics. We report giant modulation of the hole g-factor in a SiGe nanocrystal when an electric field is applied to the nanocrystal alon g its growth direction. We derive a contribution to the g-factor that stems from an orbital effect of the magnetic field, which lifts the Kramers degeneracy in the nanocrystal by altering the mixing between the heavy and the light holes. We show that the relative displacement between the heavy- and light-hole wave functions, occurring upon application of the electric field, has an effect on the mixing strength and leads to a strong non-monotonic modulation of the g-factor. Despite intensive studies of the g-factor since the late 50s, this mechanism of g-factor control has been largely overlooked in the literature.

We report the hysteresis of optically-pumped nuclear spin polarization and the degree of circular polarization of photoluminescence on the excitation power and electron spin polarization in single InAlAs quantum dots. By increasing (or decreasing) th e excitation power at a particular excitation polarization, an abrupt rise (or drop) and a clear hysteretic behavior were observed in the Overhauser shift of the photoluminescence of the exciton and exciton complexes from the same single quantum dot under an external magnetic field of 5 T. However, the degree of circular polarization shows different behaviors between a positively charged exciton and a neutral exciton or biexciton; further, only positively charged exciton exhibits the precisely synchronized change and hysteretic behavior. It is suggested that the electron spin distribution is affected by the flip-flop of electron-nuclear spins. Further, the hysteresis is observed as a function of the degree of circular polarization of the excitation light and its dependence on the excitation power is studied. The saturation of the Overhauser shift after the abrupt rise indicates the almost complete cancellation of the external magnetic field by the nuclear field created within the width that is decided by the correlation time between the electron and the nuclei spin system.
A detailed study of the $g$-factor anisotropy of electrons and holes in InAs/In$_{0.53}$Al$_{0.24}$Ga$_{0.23}$As self-assembled quantum dots emitting in the telecom spectral range of $1.5-1.6$ $mu$m (around 0.8 eV photon energy) is performed by time- resolved pump-probe ellipticity technique using a superconducting vector magnet. All components of the $g$-factor tensors are measured, including their spread in the quantum dot (QD) ensemble. Surprisingly, the electron $g$ factor shows a large anisotropy changing from $g_{mathrm{e},x}= -1.63$ to $g_{mathrm{e},z}= -2.52$ between directions perpendicular and parallel to the dot growth axis, respectively, at an energy of 0.82 eV. The hole $g$-factor anisotropy at this energy is even stronger: $|g_{text{h},x}|= 0.64$ and $|g_{text{h},z}|= 2.29$. On the other hand, the in-plane anisotropies of electron and hole $g$ factors are small. The pronounced out-of-plane anisotropy is also observed for the spread of the $g$ factors, determined from the spin dephasing time. The hole longitudinal $g$ factors are described with a theoretical model that allows us to estimate the QD parameters. We find that the QD height-to-diameter ratio increases while the indium composition decreases with increasing QD emission energy.

We report a high-resolution photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy of a single self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) embedded in an n-i-Schottky device with an applied vector magnetic field. The PC spectra of positively charged exciton (X$^+$) and neutra l exciton (X$^0$) are obtained by two-color resonant excitation. With an applied magnetic field in Voigt geometry, the double $Lambda$ energy level structure of X$^+$ and the dark states of X$^0$ are observed in PC spectra clearly. In Faraday geometry, the PC amplitude of X$^+$ decreases and then quenches with the increasing of the magnetic field, which provides a new way to determine the relative sign of the electron and the hole g-factors. With an applied vector magnetic field, the electron and the hole g-factor tensors of X$^+$ and X$^0$ are obtained. The anisotropy of the hole g-factors of both X$^+$ and X$^0$ is larger than that of the electron.
