Abstract

We perform polarization-resolved magneto-optical measurements on single InAsP quantum dots embedded
in an InP nanowire. In order to determine all elements of the electron and hole g-factor tensors, we measure
in magnetic fields with different orientations. The results of these measurements are in good agreement with
a model based on exchange terms and Zeeman interaction. In our experiment, polarization analysis delivers a
powerful tool that not only significantly increases the precision of the measurements, but also enables us to probe
the exciton spin-state evolution in magnetic fields. We propose a disentangling scheme of heavy-hole exciton
spins enabling a measurement of the electron spin T2-time.
