We report the first Raman scattering study of Cd1−xMnxTe superlattices. The films are grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Brillouin zone‐folding effects on LA phonons, resonant scattering by LO phonons, and the magnetic field‐induced shift of the photoluminescence peak are reported. The latter yields an effective electronicgfactor of ∼100, comparable to that of Cd1−xMnxTe bulk crystals. No collective magnetic excitation was detected at zero field even at 5 K in the superlattices studied. However, the Raman paramagnetic resonance of Mn2+ions could be excited in an applied field. The implications of this result for magnetic phase transitions within superlattice layers are briefly mentioned.
