Probing a Single Nuclear Spin in a Silicon Single Electron Transistor
  We study single electron transport across a single Bi dopant in a Silicon Nanotransistor to assess how the strong hyperfine coupling with the Bi nuclear spin $I=9/2$ affects the transport characteristics of the device. In the sequential tunneling regime we find that at, temperatures in the range of $100 mK$, $dI/dV$ curves reflect the zero field hyperfine splitting as well as its evolution under an applied magnetic field. Our non-equilibrium quantum simulations show that nuclear spins can be partially polarized parallel or antiparallel to the electronic spin just tuning the applied bias.
