Description

We report the effect of intense laser field on donor impurities in a semimagnetic Cd1-xinMnxinTe/Cd1-xoutMnxoutTe quantum dot. The spin polaronic energy of different Mn2+ is evaluated for different dot radii using a mean field theory in the presence of laser field. Magnetization is calculated for various concentrations of Mn2+ ions with different dot sizes. Significant magnetization of Mn spins can be obtained through the formation of polarized exciton magnetic polarons (EMPs). A rapid decrease of the laser dressed donor ionization energy for different values of dot sizes with increasing field intensity is predicted. Also, it is found that the polarization of EMPs increases rapidly at higher excitation energies
