Tunable g factor and phonon-mediated hole spin relaxation in Ge/Si
nanowire quantum dots

Franziska Maier, Christoph Kloeffel, Daniel Loss
We theoretically consider g factor and spin lifetimes of holes in a longitudinal Ge/Si core/shell nanowire quantum dot that is exposed to external magnetic and electric fields. For the ground states, we find a large anisotropy of the g factor which is highly tunable by applying electric fields. This tunability depends strongly on the direction of the electric field with respect to the magnetic field. We calculate the single-phonon hole spin relaxation times T1 for zero and small electric fields and propose an optimal setup in which very large T1 of the order of tens of milliseconds can be reached. Increasing the relative shell thickness or the longitudinal confinement length prolongs T1 further. In the absence of electric fields, the dephasing vanishes and the decoherence time T2 is determined by T2 = 2 T1.
