Exchange energy in donor based Si QD

Objective:

  • Engineering exchange energy in donor based double quantum dots in silicon.
  • Find optimized exchange-control scheme and donor dot systems.

Approach:

  • Atomistic tight binding approach for solving donor wavefuntions.
  • A full configuration interaction (FCI) method for electron-electron exchange calculation, which accurately captures exchange and correlations.
  • A detuning-field scheme to tune exchange energy.

Results/Impact:

  • Exchange oscillation is mitigated in asymmetric 2P-1P systems.
  • A 2P-1P system with inter-qubit separation of 15 nm provides over 5 orders of magnitude tunability.
  • FCI technique allows anaylizing two-electron enery spectra, weights of slater-determinants as well as two-electron density where spin-blockade is observed.
