Polaron percolation in diluted magnetic semiconductors

Materials Science 2009-11-07 v1 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

We theoretically study the development of spontaneous magnetization in diluted magnetic semiconductors as arising from a percolation of bound magnetic polarons. Within the framework of a generalized percolation theory we derive analytic expressions for the Curie temperature and the magnetization, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulation results and good qualitative agreement with experimental results.
