By numerically solving an $8\\times8$ $k\\cdot p$ Hamiltonian we treat systems based on different III-V semiconductor materials.It is shown that, even in the absence of an applied magnetic field, these systems show intrinsic spin dynamics governed by intraband and interband transitions leading to characteristic spin frequencies ranging from the THz to optical frequencies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-22T20:49:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semiconductor quantum dots", "intrinsic spin dynamics", "multiband envelope function approximation", "characteristic spin dynamics", "iii-v semiconductor materials" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
