Abstract
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is commonly believed to be a typical feature of the motion of a charged particle interacting with the electromagnetic vector potential. Here we present a magnetophotoluminescence study of type-II self-assembled quantum dots, revealing the Aharonov-Bohm–type oscillations for neutral excitons when the hole ground state changes its angular momentum from to , 2, and 3. The hole-ring parameters derived from a simple model are in excellent agreement with the structural parameters for this system.
