We report a detailed analysis of how the existence of interface roughness can change exciton localization in CdTe/Cd1-xMn xTe strained double quantum wells (DQW´s) taking into account magnetic and electric field effects. We consider that the potential, effective mass, and the intrinsic magnetization are dependent on the profile of the Mn molar fraction at the interfacial region. Results obtained with CdTe/Cd0.68Mn0.32Te DQW´s show that the energy band tailoring generated by the strain and the Zeeman effect is responsible by a displacement of the exciton energy peaks and that small changes in the interface width (10 Å) can be responsible for 30 meV exciton energy broadening.
