Due to the possibility of controlled manipulation of the spin properties of carriers, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are promising materials for spintronic applications. Extensive studies on DMS containing Mn²⁺ ions have investigated the carrier-Mn interactions, but still many questions remain unanswered.
In that context, we have studied the dependences of the spin-flip Raman scattering (SFRS) efficiency of Mn²⁺ ions in (Zn,Mn)Se/(Zn,Be)Se quantum wells with Mn concentrations of about 1.5%. We have shown that the Mn spin-flip scattering efficiency is strongly amplified by resonant excitation of the exciton in close-to-Faraday geometries and at certain magnetic field strengths. We could attribute this amplification to an interaction of single Mn²⁺ spins with clusters of several Mn²⁺ spins. Furthermore, we have observed that the Mn²⁺ SFRS exhibits a strong dependence on temperature and excitation density. In addition to that, we have detected a significant difference between the Mn²⁺ SFRS shift on the Stokes and anti-Stokes side, which may result from the nonlinear dispersion of the exciton magnetic polaron involved in the SFRS process.
