Persistent Spin Resonance of Donor Electrons and Hopping Magnetoconductivity in Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te$\text{}_{1-y}$Se$\text{}_{y}$

The first observation of electric dipole spin resonance of donor electrons in Cd$\text{}_{1-x}$Mn$\text{}_{x}$Te$\text{}_{1-y}$Se$\text{}_{y}$ in far-infrared magnetotransmission is reported. Modification of the donor wave function due to non-diagonal exchange interaction with localized magnetic moments and to magnetic fluctuations are believed to allow this resonance. Hopping magnetoconductivity studied in the same crystals shows a behavior typical for wide gap diluted magnetic semiconductors.
