Abstract

The resistivity model as a function of temperature and ionization energy (doping) is derived with further confinements from spin-disorder scattering in ferromagnetic phase. Magnetization and polaronic effects capture the mechanism of both spin independent and spin-assisted charge transport of ferromagnets, including the newly reported Mnx_xGe1x_{1-x} ferromagnetic semiconductor. The computed TcrossoverT_{crossover} below TCT_C and carrier density in Ga1x_{1-x}Mnx_xAs system are 8-12 K and 1019^{19} cm3^{-3}, remarkably identical with the experimental values of 10-12 K and 10181020^{18}-10^{20} cm3^{-3} respectively. The calculated charge carriers density for Mnx_xGe1x_{1-x} is 1019^{19} cm3^{-3}, which is also in the same order with the experimental values.
