We report on the observation of terahertz radiation induced magnetic-ratchet effects in CdTe and (Cd,Mn)Te quantum well structures superimposed with lateral superlattice. The in-plane potential was tuned by applying gate voltages. Irradiating the QW at normal incidence while applying a magnetic field B along the growth direction we observed that the terahertz-induced ratchet current exhibits sign-alternating 1/B periodic oscillations. The magnitude of the oscillations was by orders of magnitude larger than the ratchet photoresponse at zero magnetic field. The oscillation period corresponds to that of the Shubnikov-de-Haas effect. Our results reveal the existence of magnetic ratchet effects characterized by magnetic quantum photocurrent oscillations caused by Landau quantization and giant Zeeman effects in diluted magnetic heterostructures.
