| Inelastic scattering of excitons on LO phonons in ZnTe based bulk semimagnetic semiconductors with low concentration of paramagnetic ions (Mn2+, Fe2+ and Cr2+) was studied. A polarization degree of the LO phonon Raman lines was measured as a function of the exciton splitting in a magnetic field, and allowed us to determine the polarization lifetime (polariton flight time). A similar method was used to investigate multiple Mn2+ spin-flip scattering in CdMnTe quantum well. The cascade model seems to be not adequate to interpret the dependence of the polarization degree on the order of scattering. |
