Over the past two decades, the research of (Ga,Mn)As has led to a deeper understanding of relativistic spin-dependent phenomena in magnetic systems. It has also led to discoveries of new effects and demonstrations of unprecedented…

We present a theory of interstitial Mn in Mn-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors. Using density-functional theory, we show that under the non-equilibrium conditions of growth, interstitial Mn is easily formed near the surface by a simple…

High-field magnetic measurements performed with the use of magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE) in the polar configuration as well as high-field and low-field magnetotransport studies were carried out on Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers grown by low…

We demonstrate an exchange bias in (Ga,Mn)As induced by antiferromagnetic coupling to a thin overlayer of Fe. Bias fields of up to 240 Oe are observed. Using element-specific x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, we distinguish a…

We study theoretically the spin transport in a device in which the active layer is an organic film with numerous deep in-gap levels serving as traps. A carrier, diffusing between magnetized injector and detector, spends a considerable…

Periodic outbursts are observed in several changing-look (CL) active galactic nuclei (AGNs). \citet{sniegowska_possible_2020} suggested a model to explain the repeating CL in these AGNs, where the periodic outbursts are triggered in a…

In the present work, we perform a systematic investigation on p-type codoping in (Ga,Mn)As. Through gradually increasing Zn doping concentration, the hole concentration increases, which should theoretically lead to an increase of the Curie…

Magnetic annealing of the collinear antiferromagnet PdMn with excess Pd produces strongly pinned magnetic moments in the annealing field direction. This behaviour can be understood with the help of the magnetic-field-biased diffusion model.…
