We study a diluted magnetic semiconductor system based on the spin of the ionized acceptor. We show that the negatively chargedion, an excited state of the Cr in II-VI semiconductor, can be stable when inserted in a CdTe quantum dot (QD). Theattracts a heavy hole in the QD and form a stable hole-complex. Optical probing of this system reveals a ferromagnetic coupling between heavy holes andspins. At low temperature, the thermalization on the ground state of the hole-system with parallel spins prevents the optical recombination of the excess electron on theshell of the atom. We study the dynamics of the nanomagnet formed by the hole-exchange interaction. The ferromagnetic ground states withcan be controlled by resonant optical pumping and a spin relaxation time in therange is obtained atK. This spin memory at zero magnetic field is limited by the interaction with phonons.
