Effective g ‐factor control in II‐VI quantum dots: morphological effects

Abstract

The Zeeman splitting in a single CdTe quantum dot (QD) is theoretically analyzed in the frame of KaneWeiler 8×8 k · p model. The conduction g-factor was calculated as a function of the QD size. We discuss the effects of the dot geometry on the magnitude and on sign of the g-factor, that opens new channels towards control and manipulation of magneto-optical properties and spin in different confinement regimes.
