| Optical detection and ionization of donors in specific electronic and nuclear spin states (2006) | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| We resolve the remarkably sharp bound exciton transitions of highly enriched Si-28 using a single-frequency laser and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, as well as photocurrent spectroscopy. Well-resolved doublets in the spectrum of the P-31 donor reflect the hyperfine coupling of the electronic and nuclear donor spins. The optical detection of the nuclear spin state, and selective pumping and ionization of donors in specific electronic and nuclear spin states, suggests a number of new possibilities which could be useful for the realization of silicon-based quantum computers. | |||||||||||
