Abstract

The fine structure of the ground state exciton has been studied by magnetophotoluminescence spectroscopy of self-assembled In0.60Ga0.40As single quantum dots. This was realized by using lithography for fabricating mesa structures which contain only a single dot. Due to a dot geometry-induced symmetry breaking we are able to observe the dark exciton states in magnetic field besides the bright excitons. From the spin-splitting data values for the corresponding exciton g-factors are obtained. In addition, the electron–hole exchange energies are determined, which are compared to detailed numerical calculations.
