CdTe-CdMnTe interfaces grown by molecular beam epitaxy are studied usi
ng excitons confined in quantum wells. For increasing growth temperatu
res Zeeman splittings indicate an enhanced dilution of Mn ions at the
interface while the optical linewidths evidence a decreasing roughness
. These results directly illustrate the fact that the two methods are
sensitive to different scales of interface broadening.
