Free Carriers Heating at Mn²⁺Magnetic Resonance in CdMnTe

Abstract

The results of optically detected magnetic and cyclotron resonance experiments performed on Cd1-xMnxΤe (x = 0.007) are presented. It is shown that the Mn 2 + magnetic resonance results in heating of free holes, which can be observed via the effects of hot holes on the CdMnTe "edge" emission.

Time‐resolved optically‐detected magnetic resonance of II–VI diluted‐magnetic‐semiconductor heterostructures

“…Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technique is a widely used for study bulk semiconductors and semiconductor heterostructures. It was used for investigation of (Zn,Mn)Te [3] and (Cd,Mn)Te [4,[11][12][13][14] DMS, but has not been yet combined with time-resolved detection. In this paper we apply time-resolved ODMR for investigation of spin-lattice relaxation in (Zn,Mn)Se-and (Cd,Mn)Te-based quantum well structures.…”

Optically detected magnetic resonance in (Zn,Mn)Se/(Zn,Be)Se quantum wells

“…The characteristics of these effects are controlled by energy and spin transfer between three interacting systems in the DMS: the Mn-spin system, the phonon system ͑lattice͒, and the free carriers. [11][12][13][14][15] Microwaves can heat the Mn-spin system, e.g., resonantly under the condition of electron-spin resonance when the MW photon is resonant with the spin splitting of a Mn 2+ ion. The MW energy can be absorbed also by free carriers, e.g., electrons, under conditions of either spin resonance or cyclotron resonance.…”
