Magnetization Dynamics of a (Cd,Mn)Te Quantum Well in Pulsed Magnetic Field

Magnetization dynamics in bulk (Cd,Mn)Te crystals has been studied by many authors since the eighties. It was demonstrated that in magnetic field of the order of 1 T, the magnetization relaxation is mainly caused by the spin–lattice interaction [1, 2]. Its characteristic time is of the order of microseconds for samples with Mn content equal to a few percent. Our present work is devoted to two-dimensional structures — quantum wells (QWs). In this paper we present results of magnetization relaxation studies of a (Cd,Mn)Te QW in a pulsed magnetic field.
