We report on the reversible electrical control of magnetic properties a single Mn atom in an individual quantum dot. Our device permits us to prepare dot states with three different electric charges, 0, +1e, and -1e which result dramatically spin properties, as revealed by photoluminescence. Whereas neutral configuration is paramagnetic, electron-doped are rotationally invariant hole-doped spins quantized along growth direction.

Using an angle-resolved heterodyne four-wave-mixing technique, we probe the low momentum excitation spectrum of a coherent polariton gas. The experimental results are well captured by Bogoliubov transformation which describes transition from single particle excitations normal fluid to soundlike superfluid. In dense gas, find all characteristics transformation, i.e., positive and negative energy branch with respect gas at rest, shapes for dispersion, intensity, linewidth ratio between two...

The emission spectra of individual self-assembled quantum dots containing a single magnetic Mn atom differ strongly from dot to dot. differences are explained by the influence system geometry, specifically in-plane asymmetry and position atom. Depending on both these parameters, one has different characteristic features which either reveal or hide spin state observed behavior in zero field under can be quantitatively interplay between exciton-manganese exchange interaction (dependent...

The Bogoliubov transformation of a polariton quantum fluid has recently been revealed in the four-wave mixing response driven microcavity gas. In this work, we investigate modifications that dual nature polaritons produce on excitations particular half-light--half-matter fluid. We discuss character lower superfluid when it coexists with upper polaritons. show unique effects resulting from interplay between decay and such as modification dispersion or slowing down dynamics.
Using angle-resolved Raman spectroscopy, we show that a resonantly excited ground-state exciton-polariton fluid behaves like nonequilibrium coolant for its host solid-state semiconductor microcavity. With this optical technique, obtain detailed measurement of the thermal fluxes generated by pumped polaritons. We thus find maximum cooling power cryostat temperature 50 K and below where is usually suppressed, identify participation an ultrafast mechanism. also character polaritons constitutes...

We show that impacts initial antiphase domain distribution, with two distinct nucleation-driven (miscut typically >1\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}) and terraces-driven 0.1\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}) regimes. It is then inferred how distribution mean phase lateral length are affected by miscut. An experimental confirmation given through comparison distributions in GaP GaSb/AlSb samples grown...
We analyzed the photoluminescence intermittency generated by a single paramagnetic spin localized in an individual semiconductor quantum dot. The statistics of photons emitted dot reflect fluctuations interacting with injected carriers. Photon correlation measurements, which are reported here, reveal unique signatures these fluctuations. A phenomenological model is proposed to quantitatively describe observations, allowing measurement dynamics magnetic atom at zero field. These results...
We experimentally demonstrate a technique for the generation of optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum using planar semiconductor microcavity. Despite being isotropic systems with no structural gyrotropy, microcavities, because transverse-electric--transverse-magnetic polarization splitting that they feature, allow conversion circular an incoming laser beam into transmitted light field. The process implies formation topological entities, pair vortices, in intracavity
