Abstract

We study few-electron GaAs quantum dot devices designed for generating a local AC magnetic field (~mT) in order to realize single-electron spin resonance. The AC magnetic field is induced by an AC current driven through a metal line in the vicinity of the dot. The Landé g-factor in the quantum dot is derived from the large (~T) in-plane magnetic field evolution of the Zeeman splitting observed in both Coulomb peak spacings and Coulomb diamonds. The obtained g-factor (|g| = 0.23) is significantly smaller than that for bulk GaAs. We measure electron transport through the dot for various AC currents and find evidence for the presence of an AC electric field in the form of photon assisted tunneling and current rectification. So far, we cannot confirm any effect of the AC magnetic field.
