RKKY interaction in Mn-doped 4 $\times$ 4 Luttinger systems
Abstract
We consider Mn-doped bulk zinc-blende semiconductors described by the 4 4 Luttinger Hamiltonian. In these semiconductors, Mn atom acts as an acceptor providing the system a mobile hole, and also acts like a magnetic impurity of spin . We obtain exact analytical expressions of the hole mediated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida (RKKY) exchange interaction between two Mn ions. The RKKY interaction of the Luttinger system consists of collinear Heisenberg-like and Ising-like interactions. The characteristic beating patterns appear in the range functions of the RKKY interaction owing to the presence of multiple Fermi wave-vectors of the underlying states. As an application of the analytical form of the range function, from the finite temperature evaluation of the correlation functions, we calculate the contribution of RKKY interaction to the Curie-Weiss temperatures of a particular dilute magnetic semiconductor ZnMnTe where Luttinger Hamiltonian is valid.
