Abstract
Spin polarization of nonmagnetic CdSe quantum dots (QDs) coupled to adjacent ZnMnSe diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) is investigated by CW and time-resolved magneto-optical spectroscopy under tunable laser excitation. Efficient enhancement in the degree of σ− circular polarization of photoluminescence from the CdSe QDs is observed under optical excitation at the σ+-active exciton state of the DMS. The fact that the enhancement persists much longer than the exciton lifetime of the DMS rules out a role of the DMS excitons. A possible explanation is discussed in terms of antiferromagnetic coupling between the excitons in QDs and aligned Mn ions in DMS.
