• Abstract: We analyze the polarization of nuclear spins in a quantum dot induced by a single-electron spin that is electrically driven to perform coherent Rabi oscillations. We derive the associated nuclear-spin polarization rate and analyze its dependence on the accessible control parameters, especially the detuning of the driving frequency from the electron Larmor frequency. The arising nuclear-spin polarization is related to the Hartmann-Hahn effect known from the NMR literature with two important differences. First, in quantum dots one typically uses a micro magnet, leading to a small deflection of the quantization axes of the electron and nuclear spins. Second, the electric driving wiggles the electron with respect to the atomic lattice. The two effects, absent in the traditional Hartmann-Hahn scenario, give rise to two mechanisms of nuclear-spin polarization in gated quantum dots. The arising nuclear-spin polarization is a resonance phenomenon, achieving maximal efficiency at the resonance of the electron Rabi and nuclear Larmor frequency (typically a few or a few tens of MHz). As a function of the driving frequency, the polarization rate can develop sharp peaks and reach large values at them. Since the nuclear polarization is experimentally detected as changes of the electron Larmor frequency, we often convert the former to the latter in our formulas and figures. In these units, the polarization can reach hundreds of MHz/s in GaAs quantum dots and at least tens of kHz/s in Si quantum dots. We analyze possibilities to exploit the resonant polarization effects for achieving large nuclear polarization and for stabilizing the Overhauser field through feedback.

  We report on a strategy to boost the spin injection rate by exploiting electrons that can be rapidly polarized. We demonstrate this in a model system of Nitrogen Vacancy center electrons injecting polarization into a bath of 13C nuclei in diamond. Through a spin-ratchet polarization transfer mechanism, we show boosts in spin injection rates by over two orders of magnitude.

Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
