We demonstrate coexistence of slow and fast components of photoluminescence decay of the Mn^{2+} intra-shell emission in nanoparticles of CdMnS. We explain the observed decrease in PL lifetime of the Mn^{2+} intra-shell transition by high efficiency of spin dependent magnetic interactions between localized spins of Mn^{2+} ions and free carriers. This mechanism is enhanced in nanostructures, but it is also present in bulk samples.
In this work we evaluate structural and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles grown by wet chemistry method. Light emission properties of these nanoparticles are studied with cathodoluminescence and micro-photoluminescence. Even at the room temperature excitonic emission is well resolved, due to high exciton binding energy of ZnO. Decay kinetics of photoluminescence emissions and efficiency of inter-nanoparticles energy migration is evaluated from maps of in-plane variations of photoluminescence decay times measured in microphotoluminescence setup.
