Photoluminescence Studies

ABSTRACTWe present a photoluminescence study of the excitons and electron-to-acceptor (e-°) transitions in Cd1−xMnxTe (x = 0.05 and 0.15) under hydrostatic pressure at 15K. We investigate the changing magnetic and Coulombic binding energies of the e-° transition under pressure. We find that the e-° binding energy increases with pressure for x = 0.15 where the magnetic term due to the acceptor bound magnetic polaron is large, while it decreases for x = 0.05. We also obtain the pressure coefficients of the excitonic and acceptor related transitions.

Spin Texture

AbstractWe outline a theory of the acceptor-bound magnetic polaron in cubic diluted magnetic semiconductors that exhibits a nonuniform magnetization. Calculations show that the manganese spins have an overall z-alignment, but are canted in an azimuthally symmetric way from that direction. This is new phenomenon we call BMP spin-texture. Spin-texture results from valence band degeneracy, and the important spin-orbit effects associated with it. The possibility of studying BMP spin-texture via neutron scattering is discussed.

Magnetic polarons are ferromagnetic spin clusters created by the exchange interaction of a carrier spin (electron or hole) with localized spins imbedded in a semiconductor lattice. They were first studied in magnetic semiconductors [1]; more recently, there have been extensive investigations [2] of polaron behavior in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), such as Cd1−xMnxTe. DMS are favorable media for magnetic polaron studies because they have simple s-p bands and excellent optical properties. Two types of magnetic polarons have been identified in DMS - the bound magnetic polaron (BMP), whose carrier is localized by an impurity [3], and the free polaron (FP) consisting of a carrier trapped by its own, self-consistently-maintained, exchange potential [4].
