Abstract

We report spin-flip Raman scattering in Cd1-xMnxTe in the paramagnetic phase. The spin-flip Raman line at ωSFR is observed in a wide range of compositions, x = 0.01 to 0.18. The polarization characteristics establish that the line is associated with the spin-flip transition of an electron. The large effective g-factor, the temperature and magnetic field dependence of ωSFR can be traced to the especially important exchange interaction between Mn++ and band electrons in the diluted magnetic semiconductors.
