Spin interactions in a quantum ring containing a magnetic impurity

The exciton states in a CdTe semiconductor quantum ring containing a single magnetic impurity are considered in an external magnetic field. The electron-hole spin interaction and s,p-d interactions between electron, hole and magnetic impurity are also taken into account in the calculations. It is shown that due to the s,p-d spin interactions the ground state exciton energy splits into 12 doubly degenerated energy levels. The external magnetic field removes this degeneracy. A novel method is proposed here to determine the values of the strengths of s,p-d interactions. The optical spectrum of the system for different polarizations of the incident light and for different initial states of the magnetic impurity spin projection is also studied.
