Abstract
[ ]Cd 1− x Mn x Ga 2S 4 is a semimagnetic semiconductor and it has revealed an exceptional property namely ‘optical activity‘. Therefore, a spectroscopic investigation of chiral absorption bands has been carried out with the view to examine the role of d*–d states of manganese atoms. It has been found that inner transitions of Mn ++ dominate the spectral region with a special feature, indicating that these transitions show the presence of a substantial contribution from the magnetic dipole moment which rotates the electric vector of the incident polarized radiation. The origin is associated to the lack of a symmetry center caused by the ordered vacancies in this defect compound.
