Phonon modulation of the spin-orbit interaction as a spin relaxation mechanism in quantum dots

We calculate the spin relaxation rates in a parabolic InSb quantum dot due to the spin interaction with acoustical phonons. We considered the deformation potential mechanism as the dominant electron-phonon coupling in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. By studying suitable choices of magneti...
