The static and dynamic properties of excitons and trions in a 80 nm wide Cd_{1-x}Mn_xTe/Cd_{0.7}Mg_{0.3}Te quantum well with extremely small Mn content (x=0.00027) have been studied by means of time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence experiment at low and elevated temperatures. The trion binding energy has been estimated to be 2.6 ± 0.8 meV. The exciton and trion lifetimes have been measured to be ≈ 150 ps, and ≈ 200 ps, respectively. The temperature dependence of both lifetimes together with the multicomponent character of the PL decay process suggest a spatial localization of excitons and trions in the investigated quantum well.
