Abstract

The coherence of an electronic spin in a semiconductor quantum dot decays due to its interaction with the bath of nuclear spins in the surrounding isotopes. This effect can be reduced by subjecting the system to an external magnetic field and by applying optical pulses. By repeated pulses in long trains the spin precession can be synchronized to the pulse period T-R. This drives the nuclear spin bath into states far from equilibrium leading to nuclear frequency focusing. In this paper, we use an efficient classical approach introduced in Fauseweh et al. [Fauseweh, Schering, Hudepohl, and Uhrig, r'hys. v. B 96, 054415 (2017)] to describe and to analyze this nuclear focusing. Its dependence on the effective bath size and on the external magnetic field is elucidated in a comprehensive study. We find that the characteristics of the pulse as well as the nuclear Zeeman effect influence the behavior decisively.
