Pressure effect on magneto-optical properties in CdTe/(Cd, Mn)Te single quantum wells with high Mn concentration

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The pressure effect on the magnetic field induced type I–type II transition is studied in a CdTe/Cd1−xMnxTe (x=0.24) single quantum well. Photoluminescence measurements under hydrostatic pressures up to 1.07 GPa and long pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T with a pulse duration of 2 s are reported. The pressures were generated in a plastic diamond anvil cell. A bend toward lower energies (additional red shift) is observed above 28.5 T in magnetic field dependence of the exciton energy for a 13 Å thick quantum well. We attribute this red shift to a phenomenon preceding the type I–type II transition after a comparison with a simple quantum mechanical calculation. The onset field of the additional red shift increases by 3.4 T by applying a pressure of 1.07 GPa. Spin–spin coupling between the exciton and the Mn ion in the interface region is also investigated and found to be enhanced by pressure.
