Visible-Bandgap II–VI Quantum Dot Heterostructures

  • Chapter
Semiconductor Nanostructures

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

The epitaxial growth of self-assembled CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot structures is described. Optical studies on a single-dot level uncover the fundamental electronic excitations of these quasi-zero dimensional structures and their dynamical interactions. The spin finestructure of electron–hole pairs in neutral and charged quantum dots is elaborated. Coherent control of the exciton–biexciton system is experimentally achieved by two-photon excitation. The spin dynamics of holes, electrons, and excitons is investigated. The hyperfine interaction of the electron spin with the nuclear moments of the surrounding lattice atoms is elucidated and a new type of dynamical nuclear polarization is demonstrated. The spin interactions in diluted magnetic quantum dot structures are addressed.
