Design, epitaxial growth, and resonant spectroscopy of CdSe Quantum Dots (QDs) embedded in an innovative (Zn,Cd)Se barrier are presented. The (Zn,Cd)Se barrier enables shifting of QDs energy emission down to 1.87 eV, that is below the energy of Mn$^{2+}$ ions internal transition (2.1 eV). This opens a perspective for implementation of epitaxial CdSe QDs doped with several Mn ions as, e. g., the light sources in high quantum yield magnetooptical devices. Polarization resolved Photoluminescence Excitation measurements of individual QDs reveal sharp ($Gamma <$ 150 $mu$eV) maxima and transfer of optical polarization to QD confining charged exciton state with efficiency attaining 26 %. The QD doping with single Mn$^{2+}$ ions is achieved.

We show that two major carrier excitation mechanisms are present in II-VI self-assembled quantum dots. The first one is related to direct excited state - ground state transition. It manifests itself by the presence of sharp and intense lines in the e
xcitation spectrum measured from single quantum dots. Apart from these lines, we also observe up to four much broader excitation lines. The energy spacing between these lines indicates that they are associated with absorption related to longitudinal optical phonons. By analyzing resonantly excited photoluminescence spectra, we are able to separate the contributions from these two mechanisms. In the case of CdTe dots, the excited state - ground state relaxation is important for all dots in ensemble, while phonon - assisted processes are dominant for the dots with smaller lateral size.
We present experimental and theoretical study of single semiconductor quantum dots excited by two non-degenerate, resonantly tuned variably polarized lasers. The first laser is tuned to excitonic resonances. Depending on its polarization it photogene
rates a coherent single exciton state. The second laser is tuned to biexciton resonances. By scanning the energy of the second laser for various polarizations of the two lasers, while monitoring the emission from the biexciton and exciton spectral lines, we map the biexciton photoluminescence excitation spectra. The resonances rich spectra of the second photon absorption are analyzed and fully understood in terms of a many carrier theoretical model which takes into account the direct and exchange Coulomb interactions between the quantum confined carriers.
In semiconductors, quantum confinement can greatly enhance the interaction between band carriers (electrons and holes) and dopant atoms. One manifestation of this enhancement is the increased stability of exciton magnetic polarons in magnetically-dop
ed nanostructures. In the limit of very strong 0D confinement that is realized in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, a single exciton can exert an effective exchange field $B_{rm{ex}}$ on the embedded magnetic dopants that exceeds several tesla. Here we use the very sensitive method of resonant photoluminescence (PL) to directly measure the presence and properties of exciton magnetic polarons in colloidal Cd$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Se nanocrystals. Despite small Mn$^{2+}$ concentrations ($x$=0.4-1.6%), large polaron binding energies up to $sim$26~meV are observed at low temperatures via the substantial Stokes shift between the pump laser and the resonant PL maximum, indicating nearly complete alignment of all Mn$^{2+}$ spins by $B_{rm{ex}}$. Temperature and magnetic field-dependent studies reveal that $B_{rm{ex}} approx$ 10~T in these nanocrystals, in good agreement with theoretical estimates. Further, the emission linewidths provide direct insight into the statistical fluctuations of the Mn$^{2+}$ spins. These resonant PL studies provide detailed insight into collective magnetic phenomena, especially in lightly-doped nanocrystals where conventional techniques such as nonresonant PL or time-resolved PL provide ambiguous results.
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the resonant emission of single InAs/GaAs quantum dots in a planar microcavity. Due to the presence of at least one residual charge in the quantum dots, the resonant excitation of the neutral exciton is
blocked. The influence of the residual doping on the initial quantum dots charge state is analyzed, and the resonant emission quenching is interpreted as a Coulomb blockade effect. The use of an additional non-resonant laser in a specific low power regime leads to the carrier draining in quantum dots and allows an efficient optical gating of the exciton resonant emission. A detailed population evolution model, developed to describe the carrier draining and the optical gate effect, perfectly fits the experimental results in the steady state and dynamical regimes of the optical gate with a single set of parameters. We deduce that ultra-slow Auger- and phonon-assisted capture processes govern the carrier draining in quantum dots with relaxation times in the 1 - 100 microsecond range. We conclude that the optical gate acts as a very sensitive probe of the quantum dots population relaxation in an unprecedented slow-capture regime.
To understand and optimize optical spin initialization in room temperature CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots (NCQDs) we studied the dependence of the time-resolved Faraday rotation signal on pump energy $E_p$ in a series of NCQD samples with different si
zes. In larger NCQDs, we observe two peaks in the spin signal vs. $E_p$, whereas in smaller NQCDs, only a single peak is observed before the signal falls to a low, broad plateau at higher energies. We calculate the spin-dependent oscillator strengths of optical transitions using a simple effective mass model to understand these results. The observed $E_p$ dependence of the spin pumping efficiency (SPE) arises from the competition between the heavy hole (hh), light hole (lh) and split-off (so) band contributions to transitions to the conduction band. The two latter contributions lead to an electron spin polarization in the opposite direction from the former. At lower $E_p$ the transitions are dominated by the hh band, giving rise to the low energy peaks. At higher $E_p$, the increasing contributions from the lh and so bands lead to a reduction in SPE. The different number of peaks in larger and smaller NCQDs is attributed to size-dependence of the ordering of the valence band states.
