Abstract
The electron and hole states in a CdTe quantum dot containing a single magnetic impurity in an external magnetic field are investigated, using the multiband approximation which includes the heavy hole-light hole coupling effects. The electron-hole spin interactions and s,p-d interactions between the electron, the hole and the magnetic impurity are also included. The exciton energy levels and optical transitions are evaluated using the exact diagonalization scheme. A novel mechanism is proposed here to manipulate impurity-spin in the quantum dot which allows us to drive selectively the spin of the magnetic atom into each of its six possible orientations.
