Abstract:
We use Pauli-spin blockade in two-electron vertical double quantum dots to quantitatively estimate the exchange energy J in a wide range of interdot level detuning Delta and fully compare it with calculations. Pauli-spin blockade is lifted via a singlet- (S-)triplet (T) transition mediated by hyperfine coupling, which abruptly occurs in our devices when the S-T transition energy or J is compensated by the Zeeman energy. We use this feature to derive J depending on Delta between the S-S and T-T resonances. The obtained J versus Delta including the resonance effect is perfectly reproduced by Hubbard model calculations.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
