Abstract

Magnetic ordering can tune optical properties of photoluminescent dilute magnetic semiconductors. The results of a magnetic field dependent photoluminescence (PL) up to 50 T above and below ferromagnetic transition temperature TC in Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals have been reported here. The PL intensity corresponding to internal transition between states of Mn significantly decreases with application of magnetic field below TC but no such suppression was observed above TC even at 50 T. The zero-field PL intensity also exhibits continuous suppression with decreasing temperature in the ferromagnetic state. The PL intensity profiles could be fitted consistently using a model of magnetic-ordering-induced spin-sensitive energy transfer to Mn states below TC.
