Half-Parabolic Quantum Wells of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te

We report on magnetooptical studies of MBE-grown half-parabolic CdTe/Cd$\text{}_{x}$Mn$\text{}_{1-x}$Te quantum well structures. The value of the valence band offset Q$\text{}_{v}$=0.4 ± 0.05 was determined by comparing energies of optical transitions in the absence of a magnetic field with model calculations. This value was verified by fitting the observed spin splitting of the lowest heavy hole (hh) state. We discuss also the temperature dependence of Q$\text{}_{v}$.
