On the Cover

Calculated photoluminescence intensity (from blue to red) of the neutral exciton from a Mn-doped InAs quantum dot, with magnetic field (horizontal, Â± 3T) plotted against detection energy (vertical, Â± 0.75 meV). The exchange coupling between Mn, electron, and hole spins cause the multiple anticrossings.
