We discuss magnetic field properties of zero- (0D) and two-dimensional (2D) polariton-condensates in GaAs microcavities. For the 2D polariton-condensate we observe a sign reversal of the Zeeman-splitting above a critical magnetic field. This experimental result is explained by a nonequilibrium spin Meissner effect. In the second part we investigate the magnetic field response of 0D microcavity structure, where the three-dimensional photonic confinement is archieved by replacing the top distributed Bragg reflector by a sub-wavelength high index contrast grating. The emission characteristics are dominated by discrete, zero-dimensional resonances. Magnetic field investigations allow us to prove the matter part of the polariton-emission above the threshold by directly measuring the polariton’s diamagnetic shift.
