Abstract

Low-temperature magneto-transport and magneto-photoluminescence measurements are reported in magnetic two-dimensional electron gas samples formed by modulation doping shallow (Zn,Cd,Mn)Se single quantum wells. The small Fermi energy (approximately 1-2 meV) and large exchange-induced spin splitting (approximately 10 meV) results in a completely spin-polarized electron gas at filling factors as high as v = 12. Further, the spin splitting significantly perturbs the confinement potential, resulting in a magnetic field-dependent carrier density.
