  A dc voltage biased II-VI semiconductor multiquantum well structure attached
to normal contacts exhibits self-sustained spin-polarized current oscillations
if one or more of its wells are doped with Mn. Without magnetic impurities, the
only configurations appearing in these structures are stationary. Analysis and
numerical solution of a nonlinear spin transport model yield the minimal number
of wells (four) and the ranges of doping density and spin splitting needed to
find oscillations.
