The optic vibrational (confined and interface) modes and the electron-phono
n and hole-phonon interactions are obtained, in the dielectric continuum mo
del, for two diluted magnetic semiconductor structures: a single well of Cd
1-xMnxTe/Cd1-yMgyTe with the magnetic ions in the well, and a double well o
f CdTe/Cd1-xMnxTe, in which a thin layer of the magnetic material is grown
in the middle of the structure. The scattering rates for the intra- and the
inter-subband transitions are obtained for electrons and holes.
