Using optical Larmor magnetometry, we find that nuclear spin can be polarized along or against the applied magnetic field, depending on field polarity and tilting of the sample with respect to the optical pump beam. Periodic optical excitation of the quantum-confined electron spin reveals a complete spectrum of optically-induced and quadrupolar-split nuclear resonances, as well as evidence for delta m = 2 transitions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-10-10T01:44:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional electron gas", "optical manipulation", "quadrupolar-split nuclear resonances", "manipulate nuclear spin", "magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
