The temperature-dependent electron spin relaxation of positively charged excitons in a single InAs quantum dot (QD) was measured by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy at zero applied magnetic fields. The experimental results show that the electron-spin relaxation is clearly divided into two different temperature regimes: (i) T < 50 K, spin relaxation depends on the dynamical nuclear spin polarization (DNSP) and is approximately temperature-independent, as predicted by Merkulov et al. (ii) T > about 50 K, spin relaxation speeds up with increasing temperature. A model of two LO phonon scattering process coupled with hyperfine interaction is proposed to account for the accelerated electron spin relaxation at higher temperatures.

The emission of circularly polarized light from a single quantum dot relies on the injection of carriers with well-defined spin polarization. Here we demonstrate single dot electroluminescence (EL) with a circular polarization degree up to 35% at zer
o applied magnetic field. The injection of spin polarized electrons is achieved by combining ultrathin CoFeB electrodes on top of a spin-LED device with p-type InGaAs quantum dots in the active region. We measure an Overhauser shift of several $mu$eV at zero magnetic field for the positively charged exciton (trion X$^+$) EL emission, which changes sign as we reverse the injected electron spin orientation. This is a signature of dynamic polarization of the nuclear spins in the quantum dot induced by the hyperfine interaction with the electrically injected electron spin. This study paves the way for electrical control of nuclear spin polarization in a single quantum dot without any external magnetic field.
The preparation of a coherent heavy-hole spin via ionization of a spin-polarized electron-hole pair in an InAs/GaAs quantum dot in a Voigt geometry magnetic field is investigated. For a dot with a 17 ueV bright-exciton fine-structure splitting, the f
idelity of the spin preparation is limited to 0.75, with optimum preparation occurring when the effective fine-structure of the bright-exciton matches the in-plane hole Zeeman energy. In principle, higher fidelities can be achieved by minimizing the bright-exciton fine-structure splitting.
We investigate the triplet-singlet relaxation in a double quantum dot defined by top-gates in an InAs nanowire. In the Pauli spin blockade regime, the leakage current can be mainly attributed to spin relaxation. While at weak and strong inter-dot cou
pling relaxation is dominated by two individual mechanisms, the relaxation is strongly reduced at intermediate coupling and finite magnetic field. In addition we observe a charateristic bistability of the spin-non conserving current as a function of magnetic field. We propose a model where these features are explained by the polarization of nuclear spins enabled by the interplay between hyperfine and spin-orbit mediated relaxation.
We measure the relaxation rate $W equiv T_{1}^{-1}$ of a single electron spin in a quantum dot at magnetic fields from 7 T down to 1.75 T, much lower than previously measured. At 1.75 T we find that $T_{1}$ is 170 ms. We find good agreement between o
ur measurements and theoretical predictions of the relaxation rate caused by the spin-orbit interaction, demonstrating that spin-orbit coupling can account for spin relaxation in quantum dots.
We demonstrate all optical electron spin initialization, storage and readout in a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot. Using a single dot charge storage device we monitor the relaxation of a single electron over long timescales exceeding 40{mu}s
. The selective generation of a single electron in the quantum dot is performed by resonant optical excitation and subsequent partial exciton ionization; the hole is removed from the quantum dot whilst the electron remains stored. When subject to a magnetic field applied in Faraday geometry, we show how the spin of the electron can be prepared with a polarization up to 65% simply by controlling the voltage applied to the gate electrode. After generation, the electron spin is stored in the quantum dot before being read out using an all optical implementation of spin to charge conversion technique, whereby the spin projection of the electron is mapped onto the more robust charge state of the quantum dot. After spin to charge conversion, the charge state of the dot is repeatedly tested by pumping a luminescence recycling transition to obtain strong readout signals. In combination with spin manipulation using fast optical pulses or microwave pulses, this provides an ideal basis for probing spin coherence in single self-assembled quantum dots over long timescales and developing optimal methods for coherent spin control.
