Quantitative estimation of exchange interaction energy using two-electron vertical double quantum dots.
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.
