Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te Parabolic Quantum Wells

We report on the growth and optical studies of II-VI semiconductor parabolic quantum wells made of Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te for a broad range of quantum well widths and Mn molar fractions x. Photoluminescence excitation spectra revealed several series of peaks equidistant in energy associated with interband optical transitions between harmonic oscillator levels. From the analysis of the spectra the valence band offset Q$\text{}_{hh}$ = 0.44±0.1 was determined for the CdTe/Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te system.
