Abstract

The exciton properties of (Cd,Mn)Se-NrGO (nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide) hybrid layered nanosheets have been studied in a magnetic field up to 10 T and compared to those of (Cd,Mn)Se nanosheets. The temperature dependent photoluminescence reveals the hybridization of inter-band exciton and intra-center Mn transition with enhancement of the binding energy of exciton-Mn hybridized state (80 meV with respect to 60 meV in (Cd,Mn)Se nanosheets) and increase of exciton - phonon coupling strength to 90 meV (with respect to 55 meV in (Cd,Mn)Se nanosheets). The circularly polarized magneto - photoluminescence at 2 K provides evidence for magnetic field induced exciton spin polarization and the realization of excitonic giant Zeeman splitting with g eff as high as 165.4 10.3, much larger than in the case of (Cd,Mn)Se nanosheets (63.9 6.6), promising for implementation in spin active semiconductor devices.
