Besombes", "C. L. Cao", "S. Jamet", "H. Boukari", "J. Fernandez-Rossier" ], "categories": [ "cond-mat.mes-hall" ], "abstract": "We report on the optical spectroscopy of the spin of two magnetic atoms (Mn) embedded in an individual quantum dot interacting with either a single electron, a single exciton and single trion. As a result of their interaction to a common entity, the Mn spins become correlated. The dynamics of this process is probed by time resolved spectroscopy, that permits to determine the optical orientation time in the range of a few tens of $ns$. In addition, we show that the energy of the collective spin states of the two Mn atoms can be tuned through the optical Stark effect induced by a resonant laser field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-15T14:50:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Hc", "78.20.Jq", "78.20.Ls" ], "keywords": [ "mn atoms", "optical control", "resonant laser field", "magnetic atoms", "individual quantum dot interacting" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.86.165306", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 86, "number": 16, "pages": 165306 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86p5306B" } } }
