| Based on the results of optically detected magnetic resonance and time-resolved investigations we relate the observed lifetime shortening of intra-shell Mn 2+ emission to spin dependent magnetic interactions between localized spins of Mn 2+ ions and spins/magnetic moments of free carriers. We show that this mechanism is active in both bulk and in low dimensional structures, such as quantum wells, quantum dots, and nanostructures. |
