- Abstract
Spin noise spectroscopy is a promising technique for revealing the microscopic nature of spin dephasing processes in quantum dots (QDs). We compare the spin-noise in an ensemble of singly charged QDs calculated by two complementary approaches. The Chebyshev polynomial expansion technique (CET) accounts for the full quantum mechanical fluctuation of the nuclear spin bath and a semi-classical approach (SCA) is based on the averaging the electron spin dynamics over all different static Overhauser field configurations. We observe a remarkable agreement between both methods in the high-frequency part of the spectra determined by static nuclear fields. The low-frequency part is determined by the long time fluctuations of the Overhauser field. We find small differences in the spectra depending on the distribution of hyperfine couplings. The spin-noise spectra in strong enough magnetic fields where the nuclear dynamics is quenched calculated by two complimentary approaches are in perfect agreement.
