We report on the growth and basic characterization of digital magnetic quantum wells, that is, quantum wells in which the well material is itself a short period superlattice composed of alternating diluted magnetic and nonmagnetic semiconductor layers each only a few monolayers thick. These novel structures can be useful in a variety of studies, including studies of barrier-well interface sharpness.
