Abstract

We use the combination of nonequilibrium phonon and exciton luminescence techniques to study the spin dynamics in diluted magnetic semiconductor structures with (Cd,Mn)Te and (Cd,Mn)Se quantum dots (QDs). We show that the spin–lattice relaxation (SLR) of Mn ions in these structures differs strongly from the SLR in quantum wells. We explain the results by a model where SLR process in structures with QDs is modified by the spin diffusion on Mn ions from the QD to a wetting layer.
