Abstract

A technique based on photoluminescence excitation measurements is described for the direct determination of the band alignment in a quantum well formed from nonmagnetic and semimagnetic materials. Results are presented for a series of CdTe-Cd1-xMnxTe quantum well samples. These show that the valence band offset, when expressed as a fraction of the total band discontinuity, is a function of the alloy concentration x in the barrier.
