Abstract

Application of moderate external electric fields to ZnSe/(Zn,Mn)Se superlattices is shown to yield readily measurable spectral shifts of the exciton ground state resonance in the quantum well limit. This shows that confinement effects increase the classical field ionization threshold. At high applied fields and low temperatures, externally injected hot electron excited luminescence from internal excitations of the Mn-ion is observed.
