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 along 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.

Strong electrically tunable exciton g-factors are observed in individual (Ga)InAs self-assembled quantum dots and the microscopic origin of the effect is explained. Realistic eight band k.p simulations quantitatively account for our observations, sim
ultaneously reproducing the exciton transition energy, DC Stark shift, diamagnetic shift and g-factor tunability for model dots with the measured size and a comparatively low In-composition of x(In)~35% near the dot apex. We show that the observed g-factor tunability is dominated by the hole, the electron contributing only weakly. The electric field induced perturbation of the hole wavefunction is shown to impact upon the g-factor via orbital angular momentum quenching, the change of the In:Ga composition inside the envelope function playing only a minor role. Our results provide design rules for growing self-assembled quantum dots for electrical spin manipulation via electrical g-factor modulation.
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 have measured the Zeeman splitting of quantum levels in few-electron quantum dots (QDs) formed in narrow bandgap InSb nanowires via the Schottky barriers at the contacts under application of different spatially orientated magnetic fields. The effe
ctive g-factor tensor extracted from the measurements is strongly anisotropic and level-dependent, which can be attributed to the presence of strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and asymmetric quantum confinement potentials in the QDs. We have demonstrated a successful determination of the principal values and the principal axis orientations of the g-factor tensors in an InSb nanowire QD by the measurements under rotations of a magnetic field in the three orthogonal planes. We also examine the magnetic-field evolution of the excitation spectra in an InSb nanowire QD and extract a SOI strength of $Delta_{so}sim 180$ $mu$eV from an avoided level crossing between a ground state and its neighboring first excited state in the QD.
Emerging theoretical concepts for quantum technologies have driven a continuous search for structures where a quantum state, such as spin, can be manipulated efficiently. Central to many concepts is the ability to control a system by electric and mag
netic fields, relying on strong spin-orbit interaction and a large g-factor. Here, we present a new mechanism for spin and orbital manipulation using small electric and magnetic fields. By hybridizing specific quantum dot states at two points inside InAs nanowires, nearly perfect quantum rings form. Large and highly anisotropic effective g-factors are observed, explained by a strong orbital contribution. Importantly, we find that the orbital and spin-orbital contributions can be efficiently quenched by simply detuning the individual quantum dot levels with an electric field. In this way, we demonstrate not only control of the effective g-factor from 80 to almost 0 for the same charge state, but also electrostatic change of the ground state spin.
Three-dimensional anisotropy of the Lande g-factor and its electrical modulation are studied for single uncapped InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). The g-factor is evaluated from measurement of inelastic cotunneling via Zeeman substates in the Q
D for various magnetic field directions. We find that the value and anisotropy of the g-factor depends on the type of orbital state which arises from the three-dimensional confinement anisotropy of the QD potential. Furthermore, the g-factor and its anisotropy are electrically tuned by a side-gate which modulates the confining potential.
