Abstract

We report on study of magnetic impurities spin relaxation in diluted magnetic semiconductors above Curie temperature. Systems with a high concentration of magnetic impurities where magnetic correlations take place were studied. The developed theory assumes that main channel of spin relaxation is mobile carriers providing indirect interactions between magnetic impurities. Our theoretical model is supported by experimental measurements of manganese spin relaxation time in GaMnAs by means of spin-flip Raman scattering. It is found that with temperature increase spin relaxation rate of ferromagnetic samples increases and tends to that measured in paramagnetic sample.
