Optically Induced Magnetization of CdMnTe Self-Assembled Quantum Dots

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate that resonant excitation of CdMnTe self-assembled quantum dots creates an ensemble of spin-polarized magnetic polarons at B=0 T. The strong spatial confinement characteristic of quantum dots significantly increases the stability of magnetic polarons so that the optically induced spin alignment is observed for temperatures > 120 K.
