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 using 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.

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.
In-plane hole g-factors measured in quantum point contacts based on p-type heterostructures strongly depend on the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the electric current. This effect, first reported a decade ago and confirmed in a num ber of publications, has remained an open problem. In this work, we present systematic experimental studies to disentangle different mechanisms contributing to the effect and develop the theory which describes it successfully. We show that there is a new mechanism for the anisotropy related to the existence of an additional $B_+k_-^4sigma_+$ effective Zeeman interaction for holes, which is kinematically different from the standard single Zeeman term $B_-k_-^2sigma_+$ considered until now.
We show that by illuminating an InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot with circularly polarized light, the nuclei of atoms constituting the dot can be driven into a bistable regime, in which either a threshold-like enhancement or reduction of the lo cal nuclear field by up to 3 Tesla can be generated by varying the intensity of light. The excitation power threshold for such a nuclear spin switch is found to depend on both external magnetic and electric fields. The switch is shown to arise from the strong feedback of the nuclear spin polarization on the dynamics of spin transfer from electrons to the nuclei of the dot.

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.
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.
