We report the observation of resonant spin-Rip Raman scattering due to loca
lized heavy-hole excitons in quasi-bulk Cd1-chiMnchiTe multilayers. The exc
iton- and electron spin-hip energies were compared with excitonic Zeeman sp
littings obtained from magnetoreflectivity measurements on the same sample.
A good agreement was observed between the electron spin splitting values o
btained from both experiments. The exciton spin-flip energy was found to be
slightly reduced with respect to the Zeeman splitting value. Possible mech
anisms of this reduction are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
