Single particle and collective spin excitations in semimagnetic quantum wells

Abstract

Collective and single-particle spin-flip excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas in a semimagnetic Cd{sub 1-x}Mn{sub x}Te quantum well are observed by resonant Raman scattering. Application of magnetic field splits the spin-subbands and spin-polarization is induced in the electron gas. Above some critical field, a collective spin-flip mode, which disappears with in-plane wave vector, dominates the spectra. The energy of this mode is given by the Zeeman energy at vanishing wave vector as predicted bu Larmor's theorem and its in-plane dispersion is well described by a model of the interacting polarizability of a spin polarized electron gas when both exchange and correlation are taken into account.
