| We present a study of short period MnTe/CdTe superlattices by magnetic resonance. The usually antiferromagnetic structure exhibits critical line broadening above the Néel temperature typical of antiferromagnetic ordering, but also some ferromagnetic properties at lower temperature. We suggest that the observed ferromagnetic-like moment originates from coupling of the moments of the recently proposed strong magnetic polarons. |
