Raman Characterization of MBE-Grown Layered MnTe/CdTe Structures

Raman scattering measurements on (MnTe)$\text{}_{8}$/(Cd$\text{}_{0.64}$Zn$\text{}_{0.36}$Te)$\text{}_{8}$ multilayer grown by MBE method and on various (MnTe)$\text{}_{n}$/(CdTe)$\text{}_{12}$ multilayers (where n=8,12,16,24) were performed at low temperatures. In the z̅(x,x)z polarization, structures corresponding to folded acoustic phonons were found. In z̅(x,y)z polarization new complex structures were observed in the low-frequency part of Raman scattering spectra. A possible magnetic origin of these structures is discussed.
