Magnetic doping of semiconductor nanostructures is actively pursued for applications in magnetic memory and spin-based electronics. Central to these efforts is a drive to control the interaction strength between carriers (electrons and holes) and the embedded magnetic atoms. In this respect, colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures provide great flexibility via growth-controlled `engineering of electron and hole wavefunctions within individual nanocrystals. Here we demonstrate a widely tunable magnetic sp-d exchange interaction between electron-hole excitations (excitons) and paramagnetic manganese ions using `inverted core-shell nanocrystals composed of Mn-doped ZnSe cores overcoated with undoped shells of narrower-gap CdSe. Magnetic circular dichroism studies reveal giant Zeeman spin splittings of the band-edge exciton that, surprisingly, are tunable in both magnitude and sign. Effective exciton g-factors are controllably tuned from -200 to +30 solely by increasing the CdSe shell thickness, demonstrating that strong quantum confinement and wavefunction engineering in heterostructured nanocrystal materials can be utilized to manipulate carrier-Mn wavefunction overlap and the sp-d exchange parameters themselves.

We present a theoretical description of excitons and positively and negatively charged trions in giant CdSe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals (NCs). The developed theory provides the parameters describing the fine structure of excitons in CdSe/CdS core/thi
ck shell NCs as a function of the CdSe/CdS conduction band offset and the CdSe core radius. We have also developed a general theory describing the fine structure of positively charged trions created in semiconductor NCs with a degenerate valence band. The calculations take into account the complex structure of the CdSe valence band and inter-particle Coulomb and exchange interaction. Presented in this paper are the CdSe core size and CdSe/CdS conduction band offset dependences (i) of the positively charged trion fine structure, (ii) of the binding energy of the negatively charged trion, and (iii) of the radiative decay time for excitons and trions. The results of theoretical calculations are in qualitative agreement with available experimental data.
Although poorly understood, cation-exchange reactions are increasingly used to dope or transform colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots). We used density-functional theory and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to develop a microscopic theor
y that explains structural, optical, and electronic changes observed experimentally in Ag-cation-exchanged CdSe nanocrystals. We find that Coulomb interactions, both between ionized impurities and with the polarized nanocrystal surface, play a key role in cation exchange. Our theory also resolves several experimental puzzles related to photoluminescence and electrical behavior in CdSe nanocrystals doped with Ag.
Recently topological aspects of magnon band structure have attracted much interest, and especially, the Dirac magnons in Cu3TeO6 have been observed experimentally. In this work, we calculate the magnetic exchange interactions Js using the first-princ
iples linear-response approach and find that these Js are short-range and negligible for the Cu-Cu atomic pair apart by longer than 7 Angstrom. Moreover there are only 5 sizable magnetic exchange interactions, and according to their signs and strengths, modest magnetic frustration is expected. Based on the obtained magnetic exchange couplings, we successfully reproduce the experimental spin-wave dispersions. The calculated neutron scattering cross section also agrees very well with the experiments. We also calculate Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMIs) and estimate the canting angle (about 1.3{deg}) of the magnetic non-collinearity based on the competition between DMIs and Js, which is consistent with the experiment. The small canting angle agrees with that the current experiments cannot distinguish the DMI induced nodal line from a Dirac point in the spin-wave spectrum. Finally we analytically prove that the sum rule conjectured in [Nat. Phys. 14, 1011 (2018)] holds but only up to the 11th nearest neighbour.
Insights to the mechanism of CdSe nanoparticle attachment to carbon nanotubes following the hot injection method are discussed. It was observed that the presence of water improves the nanotube coverage while Cl containing media are responsible for th
e shape transformation of the nanoparticles and further attachment to the carbon lattice. The experiments also show that the mechanism taking place involves the right balance of several factors, namely, low passivated nanoparticle surface, particles with well-defined crystallographic facets, and interaction with an organics-free sp2 carbon lattice. Furthermore, this procedure can be extended to cover graphene by quantum dots.
Cubic heterostructured (BA) particles of Prussian blue analogues, composed of a shell of ferromagnetic K_{0.3}Ni[Cr(CN)_6]_{0.8} cdot 1.3H_2O (A), Tc ~ 70 K, surrounding a bulk core of photoactive ferrimagnetic Rb_{0.4}Co[Fe(CN)_6]_{0.8} cdot 1.2H_2O
(B), Tc ~20 K, have been studied. Below Tc ~ 70 K, these samples exhibit a persistent photoinduced decrease in low-field magnetization, and these results resemble data from other core-shell particles and analogous ABA heterostructured films. This net decrease suggests that the photoinduced lattice expansion in the B layer generates a strain-induced decrease in the magnetization of the A layer, similar to a pressure-induced decrease observed by others in a pure A-like material and by us in our BA cubes. Upon further examination, the data also reveal a significant portion of the A material whose superexchange, J, is perturbed by the photoinduced strain from the B constituent.
