Summary, in English

Superlattices with magnetic layers containing from 8 to 16 GaMnAs monolayers corresponding to the mixed crystal composition between 5 and 6% of Mn and from 4 to 10 GaAs monolayers were grown by the low temperature MBE technique and characterized by Raman scattering. Folded acoustic phonons were observed for all superlattices in the Raman scattering spectra. The interlayer exchange coupling, found previously by the wide-angle neutron diffraction in selected superlattices was investigated by the spin-polarized neutron reflectometry. It was always of ferromagnetic type, no trace of antiferromagnetic coupling was found.
