After more than a decade of intensive research in the field of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), the nature and origin of ferromagnetism, especially in III-V compounds is still controversial. Many questions and open issues are under…
A lattice spin-fermion model for diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is investigated numerically, improving on previously used mean-field (MF) approximations. Curie temperatures are obtained varying the Mn-spin x and hole n densities, and…
The magnetic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) (Ga, Mn)As and (Ga, Mn)N are investigated by means of an effective Heisenberg model, whose exchange parameters are obtained from first-principle calculations. The…
Doping nonmagnetic semiconductors with magnetic impurities is a feasible way to obtain diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). It is generally accepted that for the most extensively studied DMS, (Ga, Mn)As, its highest Curie temperature…
The transport properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are calculated using dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and Boltzmann transport theory. Within DMFT we study the density of states and the dc-resistivity, which are strongly…
Dynamical and transport properties of a simple single-band spin-fermion lattice model for (III,Mn)V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is here discussed using Monte Carlo simulations. This effort is a continuation of previous work (G.…
We develop a theory for two-dimensional diluted magnetic semiconductor systems (e.g. $\textrm{Ga}_{1-x}\textrm{Mn}_{x}\textrm{As}$ layers) where the itinerant carriers mediating the ferromagnetic interaction between the impurity local…
Considerable efforts have been devoted recently to synthesize diluted magnetic semiconductors having ferromagnetic properties at room temperature because of their technological impacts for spintronic devices. In 2001 successful growth of…
Using Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we study the ferromagnetic transition temperature Tc of a two-band model for Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors (DMS), varying coupling constants, hopping parameters,…
We examine the feasibility of a simple description of Mn ions in III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) in terms of two species (components), motivated by the expectation that the Mn-hole exchange couplings are widely distributed,…
The origin of ferromagnetism in the prototype ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs is still controversial due to the insufficient understanding of its band structure and Fermi level position. Here, we show the universal valence-band (VB)…
Quantitative differences of Lagrange multipliers between standard Fermi-Dirac statistics (FDS) and Ionization energy ($E_I$) based FDS (iFDS) are analyzed in detail to obtain reasonably accurate interpretations without violating the…
A microscopic Hamiltonian for interacting manganese impurities in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is derived. It is shown that in p -type III-V DMS the indirect exchange between Mn impurities has similarities with the Zener mechanism…
We investigate the current debate on the Mn valence in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N, a diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMSs) with a potentially high Curie temperature. From a first-principles Wannier-function analysis, we unambiguously find the Mn…
We complete our earlier (Phys. Rev. B, {\bf 66}, 134435 (2002)) study of the electronic structure, exchange interactions and Curie temperature in (GaMn)As and extend the study to two other diluted magnetic semiconductors (GaCr)As and…
The magnetic properties of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are calculated from first-principles by mapping the ab initio results on a classical Heisenberg model. It is found that the range of the exchange interaction in (Ga, Mn)N is…
We employ dynamical mean-field theory to identify the materials properties that optimize Tc for a generalized double-exchange (DE) model. We reach the surprising conclusion that Tc achieves a maximum when the band angular momentum j equals…
A review is given of advances in the field of carrier-controlled ferromagnetism in Mn-based diluted magnetic semiconductors and their nanostructures. Experimental results for III-V materials, where the Mn atoms introduce both spins and…
We present a theory for carrier induced ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semi-conductor (DMS). Our approach treats on equal footing quantum fluctuations within the RPA approximation and disorder within CPA. This method allows for the…
We formulate a theory of doped magnetic semiconductors such as Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As which have attracted recent attention for their possible use in spintronic applications. We solve the theory in the dynamical mean field approximation to find…
