  5. Effective Hamiltonian of Heavy Holes [R. Winkler, PRB 62, 4245 (2000)] [DB & D. Loss, PRL 95, 076805 (2006)] g(GaAs) = 2.5, g(InAs) = -2.2. [H.W. van Kestern, et al., PRB 41, 5283 (1990)] [M.Bayer,et al., PRL 82, 1748 (1999)]

  6. Spin Relaxation Rates GaAs Quantum Dot (g = 2.5) InAs Quantum Dot (g = -2.2) [DB & D. Loss, PRL 95, 076805 (2006)]

  7. B-field Dependence of Rates Electrons phonons Hso Heavy holes Dresselhaus SO coupling Rashba SO coupling

  8. Summary • Anticrossing and spin mixing (GaAs QD) • T2 = 2T1 at low temperatures • Peaks on the spin relaxation decay curve (GaAs QD) • RashbaDresselhaus • Spin relaxation time for heavy holes CAN BE longer than for electrons
