Abstract

The polarized emission of colloidal quantum dots from II–VI and perovskite semiconductors were investigated thoroughly, revealing information about the optical transitions in these materials and their potential use in various opto-electronic or spintronic applications. The studies included recording of the micro-photoluminescence of individual nanostructures at cryogenic temperatures, with or without the influence of an external magnetic field. The experimental conditions enabled detection of circular and/or linear polarized emission to elucidate the exciton manifolds, angular momentum of the emitting states, Landé g-factors, single exciton and bi-exciton binding energies, the excitons’ effective Bohr radii, and the unique influence of the Rashba effect. The study advances the understanding of other phenomena such as electron–hole dissociation, long diffusion lengths, and spin coherence, facilitating appropriate design of optical and spin-based devices.
