Spin and valley T_1 times in graphene quantum dots

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

We measure spin T_1 times in graphene quantum dots containing one carrier of 10-50 ms using single shot read-out. Two and three electron states in graphene single- and double dots are investigated in magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the graphene plane. This way different configurations are found to display spin blockade, valley blockade or both. In the two carrier configuration we find valley T_1 times exceeding 500 ms.
