We perform a theoretical study, using {\it ab initio} total energy density-functional calculations, of the effects of disorder on the $Mn-Mn$ exchange interactions for $Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs$ diluted semiconductors. For a 128 atoms supercell, we…

The local atomic structure of Ni$_{2+x}$Mn$_{1-x}$Ga with 0 $\le$ $x$ $\le$ 0.16 alloys was explored using Mn and Ga K-edge Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurement. Inorder to study the atomic re-arrangements that occur…

The local electronic structure of N atoms in a diluted GaAs1-xNx (x=3%) alloy, in view of applications in optoelectronics, is determined for the first time using soft-X-ray absorption (SXA) and emission (SXE). Deviations from crystalline…

Structural and magnetic properties of GaAs thin films with embedded MnAs nanoclusters were investigated as function of the annealing temperature and layers composition. The presence of two kinds of nanoclusters with different dimensions and…

Using a microscopic finite-cluster tight-binding model, we investigate the trend of the magnetic anisotropy energy as a function of the cluster size for an individual Mn impurity positioned in the vicinity of the (110) GaAs surface,We…

We uncover the origin of blue luminescence (BL) peak in Mg doped GaN thin film using a combination of experimental X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), first-principles calculations based on density functional theory and full…

We report on a systematic study of optical properties of (Ga,Mn)As epilayers spanning the wide range of accessible substitutional Mn_Ga dopings. The growth and post-growth annealing procedures were optimized for each nominal Mn doping in…

While isovalent doping of GaAs (e.g. by In) leads to a repulsion between the solute atoms, two Cr, Mn, or Fe atoms in GaAs are found to have lower energy than the well-separated pair, and hence attract each other. The strong bonding…

We report first-principles calculations of the energetics and simulated scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images for Mn dopants near the GaAs (110) surface, and compare the results with cross-sectional STM images. The Mn configurations…

We report on a theoretical study of the electronic, optical and magneto-optical properties of digital ferromagnetic hetero-structures based on $Mn$ $\delta$--doped $GaAs$. We consider different structures corresponding to $Mn$ contents…

We have used complementary neutron and x-ray reflectivity techniques to examine the depth profiles of a series of as-grown and annealed Ga[1-x]Mn[x]As thin films. A magnetization gradient is observed for two as-grown films and originates…

Resonant in situ photoemission from Mn 3d states in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As is reported for Mn concentrations down to very dilute limit of 0.1 at %. The properties of the peak at the valence-band maximum reveal an effective interaction between Mn…

The approximate location in the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen diagram of the phase-separated (Ga,Mn)As material, consisting of MnAs nanoclusters embedded in GaAs, is determined on the basis of configuration-interaction (CI) cluster-model analysis…

Using angle-resolved photoemission, we have investigated the development of the electronic structure and the Fermi level pinnning in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As with Mn concentrations in the range 1--6%. We find that the Mn-induced changes in the…

This work reports a theoretical study of the x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra at both the Cu and the Mn K-edge in several Cu$_2$MnM (M= Al, Sn and In) Heusler alloys. Our results show that {\it ab-initio} single-channel…

The local density of states of Mn-Mn pairs in GaAs is mapped with cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy and compared with theoretical calculations based on envelope-function and tight-binding models. These measurements and…

We have measured the X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Mn L3,2 edges in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxP films for 0.018<x<0.042. Large XMCD asymmetries at the L3 edge indicate significant spin-polarization…

Structural investigation of as-grown as well as annealed Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers was carried out using high resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements for a wide range of Mn concentrations (0.027<=x<=0.083), with special attention on…

The properties of diluted Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As are calculated for a wide range of Mn concentrations within the local spin density approximation of density functional theory. M\"ulliken population analyses and orbital-resolved densities of…

The electronic structure of the magnetic semiconductor Ga$_{1-x}$Cr$_{x}$N and the effect of Si doping on it have been investigated by photoemission and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. We have confirmed that Cr in GaN is predominantly…
