Abstract
Exciton states in a pair of strongly coupled artificial asymmetric quantum dots (QDs) have been studied in magnetic fields up to B = 8T by means of photoluminescence spectroscopy. The QD molecules have been fabricated using a selective interdiffusion technique applied to asymmetric CdTe/(Cd,Mg,Mn)Te double quantum wells. The lateral confinement potential within the plane induced by the diffusion gives rise to effective zero-dimensional exciton localization. Incorporation of the Mn ions in only one dot results in a pair of QDs with a markedly different spin splitting. In contrast to a positive value of the exciton Lande g factor in nonmagnetic (Cd,Mg)Te-based single QDs, the ground exciton transition in the nonmagnetic QD demonstrates nearly zero g factor, thus, indicating a strong electron coupling between the dots. A new low-energy band with a strong red shift appears at high B signifying formation of the indirect exciton in accordance with our calculations.
