Optoelectronic control of electron and nuclear spins in semiconductor nanostructures

Summary form only given. This paper presents an overview of recent developments in coherent electronic and spin dynamics in semiconductors and quantum structures, including a discussion of temporally- and spatially-resolved magneto-optical measurements that reveal an interesting interplay between electronic and nuclear spins. An electrical scheme for local spin manipulation based on g-tensor modulation response (g-TMR) is also presented. The experiments investigate electronic, photonic, and magnetic manipulation of electron and nuclear spins in a variety of semiconductor structures and focus on investigating the underlying physics for quantum information processing in solid state.
