摘要

This thesis presents results of research on the paramagnetic resonance absorption of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) in layered form, i.e. compounds of the form {dollar}rm Asp{lcub}II{rcub}sb{lcub}1-x{rcub}Msb{lcub}x{rcub}Bsp{lcub}VI{rcub}{dollar}, where {dollar}rm Asp{lcub}II{rcub}{dollar} and {dollar}rm Bsp{lcub}VI{rcub}{dollar} are group II and VI elements, and M is a magnetic transition metal ion.; We have explored the possibility of using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} for measuring uniaxial strain in II-VI superlattices. This work is motivated by the fact that the EPR of Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} is strongly affected by crystalline fields. Changes in a crystalline field which arise from strain are thus automatically expected to have a profound effect on the EPR spectrum.; The EPR has exhibited a variety of new phenomena. We have observed giant crystal field splittings of Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} in ZnTe/MnTe and CdTe/MnTe superlattices{dollar}sp{lcub}1,2{rcub}{dollar}. The EPR spectra are ascribed to isolated Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} ions diffused into the ZnTe or CdTe layers from the MnTe layers. Furthermore, we have shown that these shifts can be used as a strain gauge in such superlattices, yielding the magnitude, sign, and uniformity of strain. Comparisons of results using neutron scattering agree well with results from EPR.; We have also measured the EPR of a series of {dollar}rm Znsb{lcub}1-x{rcub}Mnsb{lcub}x{rcub}Se{dollar} epilayer systems. The room temperature EPR linewidth versus x result in a simply varying quadratic relationship which offers an easy and precise method of determining the Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} concentration in epilayers for {dollar}x>0.05{dollar}. The temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth was analyzed in terms of exchange-narrowing theory and the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (D-M) exchange constant D{dollar}sb1{dollar} determined, with an average value of D{dollar}sb1=0.30{dollar} K, in reasonable agreement with Larson's calculated value.; Finally, we have investigated spin-spin interactions in very dilute systems by studying the {dollar}-{lcub}1over2{rcub}to{lcub}1over2{rcub}{dollar} transitions in a ZnTe/MnTe and CdTe/MnTe strained superlattice. The temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth has characteristics similar to those observed in high-x DMS systems (except in magnitude): a dramatic broadening with decreasing temperature. Analysis of the linewidths in terms of exchange-narrowing theory yields the surprising result that the D-M interaction is still the dominant magnetic interaction, even at very dilute Mn{dollar}sp{lcub}++{rcub}{dollar} concentrations, where the D-M interaction is expected to be small.
