Abstract

We report evidence of a photoinduced coupling between two spins provided by Mn dopants in their neutral acceptor state A(0) in a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot. The coupling occurs due to simultaneous exchange interactions between each of the two dopant spins and a photocreated hole. Microphotoluminescence spectroscopy achieved both in longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic fields reveals the splitting of the four spin configurations |J(1) = ± 1,J(2) = ± 1} due to the 2A(0)-hole exchange interaction. We obtain a comprehensive interpretation of the experimental data with a simplified spin Hamiltonian model, which more specifically shows that the hole-mediated coupling is similar to a ε(12)-70 μeV exchange interaction between both A(0) spins.
