Abstract
The photoluminescene signal of individual semimagnetic CdSe/Zn 0.75Mn0.25Se quantum dots is used to study the magnetization of the Mn2+ spin system in the exchange field of a single exciton. We demonstrate that by increasing the laser excitation power a significant blue shift of the photoluminescence signal occurs. This is attributed to a laser-induced demagnetization, i.e. the laser-generated carriers heat the Mn2+ spin system via spin-flip exchange scattering.
