D. Dark-Exciton Lifetime in a Magnetic FieldStrong evidence for the dark-exciton state is provided <strong>by</strong> fluorescence linenarrowing(FLN) experiments as well as <strong>by</strong> studies of the luminescence decayin external magnetic fields. In Fig. 8a, we show the magnetic field dependenceof the FLN spectra between 0 and 10 T for 12-A˚ -radius dots. Each spectrum isnormalized to the zero-field, one-phonon line for clarity. In isolation, the F2Figure 8 (a) The FLN spectra for 12-A˚ -radius dots as a function of an externalmagnetic field. The spectra are normalized to their one-phonon line (1PL). A smallfraction of the excitation laser, which is included for reference, appears as the sharpfeature at 2.467 eV to the blue of the ZPL; (b) luminescence decays for 12-Å-radiusdots for magnetic fields between 0 and 10 T measured at the peak of the ‘‘full’’luminescence (2.436 eV) and a pump energy of 2.736 eV. <strong>All</strong> experiments were done inthe Faraday configuration (H || k); (c) observed luminescence decays for 12-A˚ -radiusdots at 0 and 10 T; (d) calculated decays based on the three-level model described inthe text. Three weighted three-level systems were used to simulate the decay at zerofield with different values of c 2 (0.033, 0.0033, 0.00056 ns 1 ) and weighting factors (1,3.8, 15.3). c 1 (0.1 ns 1 ) and g th (0.026 ps 1 ) were held fixed in all three systems.<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
