Photoluminescence transitions in (CdTe,CdCrTe)/CdMgTe structure grown by molecular beam epitaxy are studied. Photoluminescence investigations show a very strong reduction of the photoluminescence intensity from chromium doped quantum wells. We explain this fact by a very efficient nonradiative recombination in the chromium-doped quantum wells. The present results indicate that the Auger-type energy transfer from excitons to chromium ions is responsible for the photoluminescence deactivation. The efficiency of this process is evaluated.
