Abstract
We propose an optical switch based on a spin tuning mechanism in diluted-magnetic semiconductor quantum dots. At certain critical magnetic field, Bc, the Zeeman spin-splitting energies can cross leading to a zero value of the effective electron g-factor and the Fermi level undergoes a spin-flip transition. Magneto-optical switching is obtained for magnetic fields below and above Bc. Correlations between Bc, confinement shapes, dot sizes, and host material compositions have been established within well-defined temperature and magnetic impurity composition ranges. The generality of the presented theoretical framework allows for its application to magnetic field controlled quantum dot arrays, and spin-injection among others.
