We study experimentally the optical cooling dynamics of nuclei located inside the donor orbit in n-doped GaAs and (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots and show that at slow modulation of excitation polarization (∼1 s) a noticeable Overhauser field can be observed. The initial cooling rate is strongly dependent on the direction of the external magnetic field with respect to initial electron polarization direction ± S0. The lowest spin temperature in n-GaAs, ΘN=1.5 mK was achieved in this work after cooling for Tmod=1 s. For the microstructure with (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots, the achieved spin temperature is one order of magnitude lower than in n-GaAs: ΘN=0.1 mK. Using the implemented technique allows us to verify the polarization of nuclear spins in the external magnetic field in the desired spin polarization state in two different types of semiconductor microstructures studied in this work.
