An overview of neutron scattering studies of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic all-semiconductor superlattices is presented. Diffraction experiments on MnTe/CdTe, MnTe/ZnTe and EuTe/PbTe superlattices show pronounced correlations between the MnTe and EuTe layers across the non-magnetic spacers, even though these layers are antiferromagnetic and the systems are nearly-insulating. Current theory status of these systems is discussed. Diffractometry and reflectometry data from EuS/PbS superlattices reveal pronounced antiferromagnetic coupling between the ferromagnetic EuS block. First polarized neutron reflectometry data from superlattices prepared of a novel ferromagnetic"spintronics" material, Ga(Mn)As, are also presented.

We describe experiments which study static and dynamic aspects of Mn spin organization in magnetic semiconductor superlattices and quantum wells. Neutron diffraction studies of ZnSe/MnSe and ZnTe/MnSe superlattices show how static Mn spin organization in these antiferromagnetic layers may be modified by strain and lowered dimensionality. We also use a novel form of femtosecond magnetic spectroscopy to examine magnetic polaron dynamics in diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum wells, and show how the organization of Mn spins by a spin-polarized carrier population may be directly viewed in the time domain.

The ferromagnetic/diamagnetic semiconductor superlattices, EuS/PbS and EuS/YbSe, were studied by neutron reflectivity. In order to determine the strength of the interlayer coupling, the intensity of the first magnetic Bragg peak vs. applied external magnetic field was measured. Additionally, the in-plane anisotropy and the domain structure were studied by polarized neutron reflectivity. The dependence of the intensity of the antiferromagnetic neutron reflectivity peak vs. magnetic field was simulated using a Stoner-Wohlfarth model. To reproduce the observed spectra it was necessary to take into account the presence of fluctuations of the nonmagnetic layers thickness, by assuming a Gaussian spread of the interlayer coupling constant $J$. For both EuS/PbS and EuS/YbSe superlattices, the best fit was obtained for the directions of the in-plane easy axes, which agree with those determined by polarized neutron reflectivity.
