Abstract
We show that the effective hyperfine interaction for heavy-hole states (or any particle described with a -like Bloch function) can induce nontrivial dynamics of nuclear spins. Experimental evidence can be found, e.g., in self-assembled quantum dots by measuring the saturation of nuclear spin polarization with different orientations of an external magnetic field.
