Optical spectroscopy on semiconductor quantum dots in high magnetic fields
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 14 (2013) no. 1, pp. 121-130.

We review the recent literature on the use of optical spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots in high magnetic fields. We address both self-assembled epitaxial dots and colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots, each of which has its own characteristic optical response. Combining simple theoretical models for quantum confinement with the effect of high magnetic fields we describe the basic optically allowed transitions expected for epitaxial and colloidal quantum dots. Within these models we discuss the effects of quantum confinement and orbital and spin Zeeman effects on the optical spectra, illustrated by experimental examples. Finally, effects of electron–electron and exchange interactions are addressed.

Nous discutons lʼapplication des méthodes de spectroscopie optique en champs magnétiques intenses aux études des boîtes quantiques semiconductrices, telles quʼelles sont présentées dans la littérature la plus récente. Nous traitons à la fois le cas des boîtes épitaxies, auto-assemblées, et le cas des boîtes quantiques obtenues à partir de nano-cristaux colloïdaux. En combinant des modèles théoriques simples, concernant le confinement quantique, avec les effets de champ magnétique forte, nous décrivons les transitions optiques fondamentales qui sont attendues dans le cas de boîtes quantiques épitaxies et colloïdales. Dans le cadre de ces modèles, nous discutons des conséquences sur le spectre optique des effets de confinement quantique et des effets Zeeman orbitaux et de spins, ce que nous illustrons à lʼaide des exemples expérimentaux. Enfin, nous terminons en traitant le problème des effets électrons–électrons et dʼinteraction dʼéchange.
