Magneto-optical characterization of trions in symmetric InP-based quantum dots for quantum communication applications

Magneto-optical parameters of trions in novel large and symmetric InP-based quantum dots, uncommon for molecular beam epitaxy grown nanostructures, with emission in the third telecom window, are measured in Voigt and Faraday configurations of external magnetic field. The diamagnetic coefficients are found to be in the range of 1.5-4 μeV/{\T^2}, and 8-15 μeV/{\T^2}, respectively out of plane and in plane of the dots. The determined values of diamagnetic shifts are related to the anisotropy of dot sizes. Trion g-factors are measured to be relatively small, in the range of 0.3-0.7 and 0.5-1.3, in both configurations respectively. Analysis of single carrier g-factors, based on the formalism of spin-correlated orbital currents, leads to the similar values for hole and electron of {\sim} 0.25 for Voigt and {\g_e} {\approx} -5; {\g_h} {\approx} +6 for Faraday configuration of magnetic field. Values of g-factors close to zero measured in Voigt configuration make the investigated dots promising for electrical tuning of g-factor sign, required for schemes of single spin control in qubit applications.
