Abstract

The photoreflectance and piezoreflectance spectra of CdTe–Cd0.9Mn0.1 Te multiple quantum wells and superlattices grown by pulsed laser evaporation and epitaxy display series of signatures that are attributed to free exciton transitions occurring between the heavy-hole and light-hole bands, and the upper electron subbands. The signature line positions are in excellent agreement with calculated transition energies obtained from a simple Kronig–Penney model that includes strain effects and the nonparabolicity of the conduction band.
