The nuclear spin system is shown to exactly follow the predictions of the spin-temperature theory, despite the quadrupole interaction that was earlier reported to disrupt nuclear spin thermalisation. These findings open a way to deep cooling of nuclear spins in semiconductor structures, with a prospect of realisation of nuclear spin-ordered statesfor high fidelity spin-photon interfaces. %G English %Z PRC Russie %L hal-01629354 %U https://hal.science/hal-01629354 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PSUD %~ L2C %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-PSUD-SACLAY %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ GS-PHYSIQUE %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ C2N
