The interfaces between nonmagnetic CdTe quantum wells and semimagnetic barriers of Cd1-xMnxTe were investigated for several well widths by low temperature photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. Specially designed Cd1-xMnxTe/CdTe/Cd1-yMgyTe structures enable us to distinguish the quality of the semimagnetic normal and inverted interfaces. The normal interface shows to have a better structural quality than the inverted interface.
