Key materials for future spintronic applications might be magnetically doped semiconductors with a substantial coupling between the dopants and charge carriers of the host semiconductor. This interaction is expected to be significantly altered by quantum confinement, an issue which is controversially discussed since more than a decade.
Here, we report on a clear evidence of a quantum confinement induced modification of both, s-d and s-p exchange interaction in two dimensional 1.4 nm thick Mn2+ doped CdSe quantum nanoribbons [1]. Both absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra are dominated by spectrally well-separated resonance peaks related to the heavy and the light hole excitonic transition. This allows a separate study of the s-d and the p-d exchange interaction constants. Taking into account the optical selection rules and the statistical orientation of the nanoribbons on the substrate, a remarkable change of the s-d exchange constant with respect to bulk is indicated. Room-temperature studies revealed an unusually high effective g-factor up to ∼13 encouraging the implementation of the nanoribbons for spintronic applications.
