The Raman scattering of the electron spin in a neutral exciton has been studied in a CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum well (QW). The mechanism of the electron spin-flip Raman scattering (SFRS) is experimentally evaluated from the circular polarization properties of the scattered light as well as dependence of the electron-SFRS line intensity on the magnetic field direction with respect to the QW growth axis. The spin-flip process is governed by acoustic phonon interaction and anisotropic electron-heavy-hole exchange interaction. The probability of the anisotropic exchange interaction depends on the g factors of the involved carriers. It shows a strong angular dependence due to the anisotropic heavy-hole g factor. Moreover, by application of above-barrier illumination in addition to the resonant excitation of the neutral QW excitons the intensity of the electron-SFRS line can be modulated significantly.
