A long electron spin coherence lifetime is the key requirement for future solid-state spin qubits. However, for instance, in self-assembled quantum dots the coupling to nuclei, co-tunneling with a nearby reservoir, and spin-orbit coupling limit the spin-lifetime.

Using resonance fluorescence, we here demonstrate an additional fundamental process that can lead to a single electron spin-flip via an Auger recombination [1]. The quantum dot is placed in a magnetic field in Faraday geometry and charged with one (spin-up or spin-down) electron [2]. In time-resolved resonant fluorescence measurements and using a rate equation model, we can determine the Auger and spin-flip rates in a magnetic field.

Our results reveal an additional, so far neglected Auger-assisted spin-flip process: Auger recombination with subsequent electron tunneling from the reservoir. The present dot is weakly coupled to an electron reservoir. A strong coupling will enhance this Auger-assisted spin-flip rate and thus reveal an important mechanism limiting the spin lifetime due to a strong coupling to a nearby reservoir.
