Three samples with different dopant species (Be or C as acceptors, Si as a donor) are compared. The p-doped samples exhibit larger inhomogeneous broadening (x3) and smaller absorption contrast (x10) than the n-doped sample. For X1+ in the Be-doped sample, a dot dependent non-linear Fano effect is observed, demonstrating coupling to degenerate continuum states. However, for the C-doped sample the X1+ lineshape and saturation broadening follows isolated atomic transition behaviour. This C-doped device structure is useful for single hole spin initialization, manipulation, and measurement.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-20T18:50:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Hc", "79.60.Bm", "61.72.uj", "71.55.Eq", "73.21.La", "78.66.Fd" ], "keywords": [ "individual quantum dots", "laser spectroscopy", "dot dependent non-linear fano effect", "single hole spin initialization", "single ingaas quantum dots" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.3665951", "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "Dec", "volume": 99, "number": 24, "pages": 243112 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011ApPhL..99x3112G" } } }
