Valence-band mixing induced by sp-d exchange interaction in CdMnTe quantum wires

摘要

Anisotropic magneto-optical effects have been studied theoretically by using multi-band effective mass method. We focus on a model of an ideal CdMnTe quantum wire surrounded by infinite potential barriers. The mixing of heavy- and light-hole bands is caused by both the one-dimensional quantum confinement and the sp-d exchange interaction. As a result of the valence-band mixing characteristic to the one-dimensional diluted magnetic semiconductor, the Zeeman splitting in the magnetic field parallel to the wire direction becomes smaller than that in the perpendicular magnetic field.
