It is shown that the lattice‐misfit induced biaxial strain in quantum‐well structures with semimagnetic barriers leads to a significant anisotropy of the shift and splitting of the subvalence bands in the barriers by an applied magnetic field. The calculated barrier exciton energies in dependence of a magnetic field parallel or perpendicular to the sample axis are confirmed by the measured anisotropic shift of the luminescence and reflection peaks for various CdTe/(Cd, Mn)Te quantum‐well structures grown by MBE on InSb substrates. Consequences on the behaviour of the well excitons in a magnetic field are discussed.
