Abstract

We have presented a microscopic model of interacting electrons with a magnetic ion  spin localized in the centre of a self assembled quantum dot. We have found that the  electrons occupying finite angular momentum orbitals interact with the localized  spin through an effective exchange interaction mediated by electron-electron  interactions. With a localized spin placed in the centre of the dot, only the spins of  electrons occupying the zero angular momentum states of the s, d, shells couple  directly to the localized spin via a contact exchange interaction. The effective  interaction for p-shell electrons is obtained using exact diagonalization of the  microscopic Hamiltonian as a function of the number of electronic shells, shell  spacing and anisotropy of the exchange interaction. The anisotropy of exchange  interpolates between the interaction types characteristics for conduction band  electrons and valence band holes. The obtained results were found in good  agreement with previously obtained results.
