W. Heller et U. Bockelmann, MAGNETOOPTICAL STUDIES OF A SINGLE QUANTUM-DOT - EXCITED-STATES AND SPIN-FLIP OF EXCITONS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 55(8), 1997, pp. 4871-4874
We report on microphotoluminescence experiments in magnetic fields on
single quantum dots formed by width fluctuations in a narrow GaAs/AlxG
a1-xAs quantum well. The ground state as well as two excited states ar
e discussed. We find a different diamagnetic shift and Zeeman spin spl
itting for these states. Resonantly exciting zero-dimensional excitons
, we observe a strong magnetic-field dependence of the spin flip rates
.
