Spectroscopic study of dark excitons in In x Ga 1 − x As self-assembled quantum dots by a magnetic-field-induced symmetry breaking
2000
The dark states of the heavy-hole ground-state exciton have been studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy of single self-assembled ${\mathrm{In}}_{0.60}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.40}\mathrm{As}$ quantum dots in magnetic fields of varying strengths and orientations. When tilting B out of the [001] crystal direction the exciton states with angular momenta $|m|=2$ are mixed with the $|m|=1$ states and become observable. In combination with a detailed analysis of the corresponding Hamiltonian a comprehensive picture of the exciton fine structure is obtained. This fine structure is characteristic for direct gap semiconductors with a twofold degenerate valence band.
