Abstract

The magneto-optical properties of CdTe/Cd 1−xMn xTe multiple quantum wells (MQW's) with high Mn contents of about 30% were studied through absorption measurements at high magnetic fields up to 40 T. Absorption peaks due to the heavy-hole and light-hole related excitons exhibit large Zeeman splitting. The Zeeman splitting energy of the heavy-hole excitons was compared with a variational calculation. Reduced antiferromagnetic coupling of Mn 2+ spins at the MQW heterointerface and the interdiffusion are discussed as a possible origin of the discrepancy between experiment and theory.
