Ferromagnetic ordering in dilute magnetic dielectrics with and without free carriers

Materials Science 2009-11-13 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

The state of art in the theoretical and experimental studies of transition metal doped oxides (dilute magnetic dielectrics) is reviewed. The available data show that the generic non-equilibrium state of oxide films doped with magnetic impurities may either favor ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature or result in highly inhomogeneous state without long-range magnetic order. In both case concomitant defects (vacancies, interstitial ions play crucial part.
