Codes and standards and other guidance cited in regulatory documents
As part of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Standard Review Plan Update and Development Program (SRP-UDP), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed a listing of industry consensus codes and standards and other government and industry guidance referred to in regulatory documents. The SRP-UDP has been completed and the SRP-Maintenance Program (SRP-MP) is now maintaining this listing. Besides updating previous information, Revision 3 adds approximately 80 citations. This listing identifies the version of the code or standard cited in the regulatory document, the regulatory document, and the current version of the code or standard. It also provides a summary characterization of the nature of the citation. This listing was developed from electronic searches of the Code of Federal Regulations and the NRC`s Bulletins, Information Notices, Circulars, Enforcement Manual, Generic Letters, Inspection Manual, Policy Statements, Regulatory Guides, Standard Technical Specifications and the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800)
Electron spin relaxation by nuclei in semiconductor quantum dots
We have studied theoretically the electron spin relaxation in semiconductor
quantum dots via interaction with nuclear spins. The relaxation is shown to be
determined by three processes: (i) -- the precession of the electron spin in
the hyperfine field of the frozen fluctuation of the nuclear spins; (ii) -- the
precession of the nuclear spins in the hyperfine field of the electron; and
(iii) -- the precession of the nuclear spin in the dipole field of its nuclear
neighbors. In external magnetic fields the relaxation of electron spins
directed along the magnetic field is suppressed. Electron spins directed
transverse to the magnetic field relax completely in a time on the order of the
precession period of its spin in the field of the frozen fluctuation of the
nuclear spins. Comparison with experiment shows that the hyperfine interaction
with nuclei may be the dominant mechanism of electron spin relaxation in
quantum dots
