Abstract

We have investigated the photoluminescence associated with residual manganese acceptors in n-type, modulation doped, GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells. In a magnetic field the luminescence breaks into discrete lines attributed to transitions between conduction band Landau levels and manganese acceptor states. The polarization of the luminescence was studied as function of magnetic field. A simple model based on the spin exchange interaction between the holes and the manganese ions successfully describes the polarization data.
