Overhauser effect in spin blockaded double quantum dots-the case of dual hysteresis — •Bhaskaran Muralidharan and Siddharth Buddhiraju — Electrical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India

In the spin blockade transport regime through GaAs double quantum dots (DQD), experiments [1] revealed that the hyperfine interaction with host nuclei can have profound consequences on the electron-spin dynamics. One of which, is the observation of bistablity and flat-topped behavior in the current versus applied DC magnetic-field characteristics. In this talk, we will first explain the essence of this flat-topped hysteretic behavior using a simple six-state model that captures the multiple-feedback mechanisms that are involved. We will then consider a more detailed model that elucidates the role of the physical parameter space of the DQD set up and a feedback mechanism involving the difference Overhauser field caused by the two separate nuclear spin baths of the DQD set up.
