The electronic spins of rare-earth materials are attractive candidates for spin qubits and quantum memories. To access individual spins, tuning of the g-factor is desirable. Here, we report on local strain-dependent g-factors of the 5D0–7F2 transitions of Eu3+ centers in GaN:Eu thin films. We have found a clear correlation between the effective g-factor and the emission energy shift induced by the local strain. The combination of micro-photoluminescence and scanning electron microscope/electron backscattering diffraction measurements has revealed that the compressive strain of 0.2%–0.4%, relative to a surrounding reference point, induces an energy shift of about 3 meV. The strain decreases the g-factor of the emission at 1.991 eV from 2.5 to 1.5, while the strain increases the g-factor of the emission at 1.994 eV from 1.1 to 1.7. The result suggests that the g-factor can be tuned by the local strain. On the basis of the strain-induced energy shift and the g-factor, we have identified the optical sites. The 5D0–7F2 transitions observed in this study consist of three optical sites with C3v symmetry and one site with C1h symmetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
