Published in PRL: Isotropic and Anisotropic g-Factor Corrections in GaAs Quantum Dots

g-factorcontrib

The spin splitting defines the energy of the spin qubit and is one of the fundamental properties of a spin in a B-field. Here, we measure and separate the isotropic and anisotropic corrections to the g-factor in two GaAs devices, finding good agreement with recent theory. Beyond the well established Rashba and Dresselhaus terms, we also identify a momentum-square-dependent Zeeman term g_43 and a (smaller) term from the penetration into the AlGaAs barrier g_P (see Figure).
