Electrical manipulation of the spins in phosphorene double quantum dots

We investigate electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR) induced by an oscillating electric field within a system of double quantum dots formed electrostatically in monolayer phosphorene. Apart from the observed anisotropy of effective masses, phosphorene has been predicted to exhibit anisotropic spin-orbit coupling. Here, we examine a system consisting of two electrons confined in double quantum dots. A single-band effective Hamiltonian together with the configuration interaction theory is implemented to simulate the time evolution of the ground state. We examine spin flips resulting from singlet-triplet transitions driven by external AC electric fields, both near and away from the Pauli blockade regime, revealing fast sub-nanosecond transition times. Furthermore, we analyze the impact of anisotropy by comparing dots arranged along a different crystal axis. The sub-harmonic multi-photon transitions and Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana transitions are discussed. We show modulation of spin-like and charge-like characteristics of the qubit through potential detuning.
