Abstract
Two emission bands are observed in the photoluminescence spectrum of ZnSe/(Zn,Mn)Se heterostructures. These bands emerge in a magnetic field and are associated with interface excitons formed as a result of a magnetic-field-induced type-I\char21{}type-II transition of the band alignment. Time-resolved measurements yield lifetimes in the ns range signifying a relatively large spatial separation of electrons and holes and hence low optical oscillator strength. These features are confirmed by a theoretical analysis of the interface exciton state revealing a reduced importance of the electron-hole Coulomb interaction in comparison with type-II excitons in quantum wells. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
