Understanding the electronic structure of semiconductor nanostructures is not complete without a detailed description of their corresponding spin-related properties. Here we explore the response of the shell structure of InAs self-assembled quantum dots to magnetic fields oriented in several directions, allowing the mapping of the g-tensor modulus for the s and p shells. We found that the g-tensors for the s and p shells show a very different behavior. The s-state in being more localized allows the probing of the confining potential details by sweeping the magnetic field orientation from the growth direction towards the in-plane direction. As for the p-state, we found that the g-tensor modulus is closer to that of the surrounding GaAs, consistent with a larger delocalization. These results reveal further details of the confining potentials of self-assembled quantum dots that have not yet been probed, in addition to the assessment of the g-tensor, which is of fundamental importance for the implementation of spin related applications.

We calculate the Overhauser frequency shifts in semiconductor nanostructures resulting from the hyperfine interaction between nonequilibrium electronic spins and nuclear spins. The frequency shifts depend on the electronic local density of states and
spin polarization as well as the electronic and nuclear spin relaxation mechanisms. Unlike previous calculations, our method accounts for the electron confinement in low dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, resulting in both nuclear spin polarizations and Overhauser shifts that are strongly dependent on position. Our results explain previously puzzling measurements of Overhauser shifts in an Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As parabolic quantum well by showing the connection between the electron spin lifetime and the frequency shifts.
We present a theoretical analysis of the effect of dielectric confinement on the Coulomb interaction in dielectrically modulated quantum structures. We discuss the implications of the strong enhancement of the electron-hole and electron-electron coup
ling for two specific examples: (i) GaAs-based quantum wires with remote oxide barriers, where combined quantum and dielectric confinements are predicted to lead to room temperature exciton binding, and (ii) semiconductor quantum dots in colloidal environments, where the many-body ground states and the addition spectra are predicted to be drastically altered by the dielectric environment.
We investigate the dynamic nuclear polarization from the hyperfine interaction between nonequilibrium electronic spins and nuclear spins coupled to them in semiconductor nanostructures. We derive the time and position dependence of the induced nuclea
r spin polarization and dipolar magnetic fields. In GaAs/AlGaAs parabolic quantum wells the nuclear spin polarization can be as high as 80% and the induced nuclear magnetic fields can approach a few gauss with an associated nuclear resonance shift of the order of kHz when the electronic system is 100% spin polarized. These fields and shifts can be tuned using small electric fields. We discuss the implications of such control for optical nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures.
The effect of an electric field on spin precession in In0.5Ga0.5As/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots is calculated using multiband real-space envelope-function theory. The dependence of the Lande g tensor on electric fields should permit high-frequenc
y g tensor modulation resonance, as well as direct, nonresonant electric-field control of the hole spin. Subharmonic resonances have also been found in g tensor modulation resonance of the holes, due to the strong quadratic dependence of components of the hole g tensor on the electric field.
A multi-band effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for lattice-matched semiconductor nanostructures in a slowly varying external magnetic field. The theory is derived from the first-principles magnetic-field coupling Hamiltonian of Pickard and Mauri,
which is applicable to nonlocal norm-conserving pseudopotentials in the local density approximation to density functional theory. The pseudopotential of the nanostructure is treated as a perturbation of a bulk reference crystal, with linear and quadratic response terms included in k.p perturbation theory. The resulting Hamiltonian contains several interface terms that have not been included in previous work on nanostructures in a magnetic field. The derivation provides the first direct analytical expressions showing how the coupling of the nonlocal potential to the magnetic field influences the effective magnetic dipole moment of the electron.
