Magnetic ground state of an individual Fe2+ ion in strained semiconductor nanostructure

Iron Fe2+ions embedded in semiconductor matrix usually have zero magnetic moment in the ground state. Here, the authors show theoretically and experimentally that a nearly doubly degenerate magnetic ground state is produced when iron ions are subjected to strain in epitaxial quantum dots, suggesting...
