Switchable Excitonic Circular Polarization in CdSe/CdMnS Nanoplatelets with Bilayer Core and Magnetically Doped Shell

ORAL

Abstract

We have utilized time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) to study the excitonic circular polarization from CdSe/CdMnS core/shell nanoplatelets (NPLs) with a bilayer core. This technique allows detailed study of the emission dynamics as a function of magnetic field, temperature, doping concentration, and excitation wavelength.
In the presence of an external magnetic field, pulsed excitation below the shell gap results in near-zero circular polarization at all times. In contrast, pulsed excitation with a photon energy larger than the shell gap results in a rapid (100 ps) build-up of the excitonic circular polarization which subsequently remains constant at a level of up to 40%.
We explore a model that describes these results; we also discuss possible applications.
