crystal axis [see Eq. (40)]. As a result of the random orientation of NC axeswith respect to the light propagation direction, both polarizations (r F ) canexcite both states F =F1 and their excitation probabilities depend on theangle (h) between the light propagation direction and the NC axis [see Eqs.(33) and (34)]; in the MCD experiments, h H u h.Let us assume that the inhomogeneous broadening of the exciton levelshas a Gaussian shape. In this case, the absorption coefficient for the r Fpolarized light due to the excitation of the jFj = 1 exciton states in NCs with ahexagonal oriented at the angle h with respect to the light propagationdirection has the forma F F ðeeU;L FÞf NU;L 1pffiffiffiffiffið1FFcoshÞ 2 exp2p r1ðe!e U;LF Þ 22r 2 1ð53Þwhere N U,L 1 is defined <strong>by</strong> Eq. (29) and r 1 and e F are the linewidth and theaverage energy of the jFj = 1 exciton states for a given NC distribution, respectively.The splitting in the magnetic field leads to the MCD signal, a MCD :a U;LMCD f 1 2XZ½a þ F ðeF ¼ F1eU;L F ðHÞÞ a F ðe e U;LF ðHÞÞŠdcosh ð54ÞThis expression can be simplified because the intrinsic transition width is muchlarger than the Zeeman splitting.

(40) and (41)] and e 1 ¼ e U;L1 is the averageposition of the exciton level in a zero magnetic field.One can see that the magnitude of the MCD signal is proportional tog U,L ex,1 . However, the absolute values of these g factors can be obtained onlyfrom the normalized MCD signal. Two cases must be considered, dependingon whether the exciton line broadening is smaller or larger than the F = 0 andjFj= 1 exciton state splitting. In the former case, the sum of absorptioncoefficients for the r + and r polarized light can be obtained from Eq.
