Time-resolved optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) is a valuable technique to study the local deformation of the crystal lattice around magnetic ion as well as the ion spin-relaxation time. Here we utilize selective Mn doping to additionally enhance the inherent locality of the ODMR technique. We present the time-resolved ODMR studies of si...

In this paper, we apply the angle-resolved optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technique to study a series of strained (Cd, Mn)Te/(Cd, Mg)Te quantum wells (QWs) produced by molecular beam epitaxy. By analyzing characteristic features of ODMR angular scans, we determine the strain-induced axial-symmetry spin Hamiltonian parameter D with neV...

We report on the magneto-photoluminescence of (Cd,Mn)Te/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum wells excited by photons with varied energy. We observe that laser illumination modifies the carrier density and Coulomb disorder in the quantum wells. Three different regimes are analyzed, corresponding to low hole density with low disorder, low hole density with significant...

We report experimental and theoretical studies on the magnetoelastic interactions in MnPS$_3$. Raman scattering response measured as a function of temperature shows a blue shift of the Raman active modes at 120.2 and 155.1 cm$^{-1}$, when the temperature is raised across the antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition. Density functional theory (DFT)...

In light science and applications, equally important roles are played by efficient light emitters/detectors and by the optical elements responsible for light extraction and delivery. The latter should be simple, cost effective, broadband, versatile and compatible with other components of widely desired micro-optical systems. Ideally, they should al...

Atomically thin materials, like semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (S-TMDs), are highly sensitive to the environment. This opens up an opportunity to externally control their properties by changing their surroundings. Photoluminescence and reflectance contrast techniques are employed to investigate the effect of metallic substrates on...

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) manifest exceptional optical properties related to narrow excitonic resonances. However, these properties have been so far explored only for structures produced by techniques inducing considerable large-scale inhomogeneity. In contrast, techniques which are essentially free from this disadvantage, s...

Atomically thin materials, like semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (S-TMDs), are highly sensitive to the environment. This opens up an opportunity to externally control their properties by changing their surroundings. We investigate the effect of several metallic substrates on the optical properties of MoSe2 monolayer (ML) deposited on...

We study the relaxation dynamics of the electron system in graphene flakes under a Landau quantization regime using an approach of time-resolved Raman scattering. The nonresonant character of the experiment allows us to analyze the field dependence of the relaxation rate. Our results clearly evidence a sharp increase in the relaxation rate upon the...

Owing to exchange interaction between the exciton and magnetic ion, a quantum dot embedding a single magnetic ion is a great platform for optical control of individual spin. In particular, a quantum dot provides strong and sharp optical transitions, which give experimental access to spin states of an individual magnetic ion. We show, however, that...

Prototyping of fiber-coupled integrated photonic devices requires robust and reliable way of docking optical fibers to other structures, often with sub-micron accuracy. We have developed an optical fiber micro-connector 3D-printed with Direct Laser Writing on a planar substrate. The connector provides fiber core precision positioning better than 12...

When Co$^{2+}$ impurity is embedded in semiconductor structure, crystal strain strongly influences zero-filed splitting between Co$^{2+}$ states with spin projection $S_z = \pm 3/2$ and $S_z = \pm 1/2$. Experimental evidences of this effect have been given in previous studies, however direct measurement of the strain induced zero-field splitting ha...

When a Co²⁺ impurity is embedded in a semiconductor structure, crystal strain strongly influences the zero-field splitting between Co²⁺ states with spin projection S_{z}=±3/2 and S_{z}=±1/2. Experimental evidence of this effect has been given in previous studies; however, direct measurement of the strain-induced zero-field splitting has been inacce...

Optical studies of a bright exciton provide only limited information about the hole anisotropy in a quantum dot. In this work we present a universal method to study heavy hole anisotropy using a dark exciton in a moderate in-plane magnetic field. By analysis of the linear polarization of the dark exciton photoluminescence we identify both isotropic...

We present a comparative study of two self-assembled quantum dot (QD) systems based on II-VI compounds: CdTe/ZnTe and CdSe/ZnSe. Using magneto-optical techniques we investigated a large population of individual QDs. The systematic photoluminescence studies of emission lines related to the recombination of neutral exciton X, biexciton XX, and singly...

Design, epitaxial growth, and resonant spectroscopy of CdSe Quantum Dots (QDs) embedded in an innovative (Zn,Cd)Se barrier are presented. The (Zn,Cd)Se barrier enables shifting of QDs energy emission down to 1.87 eV, that is below the energy of Mn$^{2+}$ ions internal transition (2.1 eV). This opens a perspective for implementation of epitaxial CdS...

Solotronics, optoelectronics based on solitary dopants, is an emerging field of research and technology reaching the ultimate limit of miniaturization.

It has already been shown that optical control of a magnetic ion spin is feasible using the...

We propose a new method of obtaining a photoluminescence spectrum of a single quantum dot in a self-assembled system of CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. The method is based on the resonant excitation of a coupled dots pair. The comparison of the spectra in resonance and out of resonance enables the identification of a well-isolated lines related to the exci...
