Title: Nuclear-Electron Coupling In GaAs Spin States And Control Of The Effects
Abstract: A brief introduction into quantum computing as well as the background for our experiments will be presented. The work discussed here will show dynamic nuclear polarization which affects the magnetic resonance properties of lightly doped n-GaAs spin states in both bulk and quantum well samples. The nuclear polarization affects spin lifetimes and the ability to use magnetic resonance as a spin manipulation technique. This nuclear polarization can be blocked through double resonance techniques.
