摘要
The presence of a ferromagnetic transition in single, modulation-doped quantum wells of Cd1-xMnxTe/Cd1-y-xMgyZnzTe:N is evidenced by magnetospectroscopy. The transition is driven by long-range RKKY interaction between the Mn spins, mediated by the two-dimensional hole gas. Magneto-optic data are well described in terms of a mean-field model. The value of the exchange-held induced by the spin-polarized hole gas is determined. We show that the zero-field splitting which characterizes the ferromagnetic order contains both a p-d exchange term and a contribution due to hole-hole exchange interactions. The initial hole polarization is only partial and increases slowly when the temperature is reduced further below the transition. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
