We have measured photoluminescence (PL) spectra and time-resolved PL in CdTe quantum dots (QDs) under the longitudinal magnetic field up to 10T. Circular polarization of PL increases with increasing magnetic field, while its linear polarization is absent under linearly polarized excitation. Time-resolved PL measurements clarified that this behavior is caused by the suppression of spin relaxation induced by the longitudinal magnetic field. We believe that this behavior is related to the hyperfine interaction of electron spin with magnetic momenta of lattice nuclei
