First-principles simulations have been performed for [001]-ordered Mn/Ge and Mn/GaAs "digital alloys", focusing on the effects of i) a larger band-gap and ii) a different semiconducting host on the electronic structure of the magnetic…

We examine the Mn concentration dependence of the electronic and magnetic properties of optimally annealed Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers for 1.35% < x < 8.3%. The Curie temperature (Tc), conductivity, and exchange energy increase with Mn…

The rapidly developing field of ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors, where a semiconductor host is magnetically doped by transition metal impurities to produce a ferromagnetic semiconductor (e.g. Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs with x ~ 1-10…

We have studied the effects of capping ferromagnetic Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers with a thin layer of undoped GaAs, and we find that even a few monolayers of GaAs have a significant effect on the ferromagnetic properties. In particular, the…

Simple structures of MnX binary compounds, namely hexagonal NiAs and zincblende, are studied as a function of the anion (X = Sb, As, P) by means of the all-electron FLAPW method within local spin density and generalized gradient…

We have studied the electronic structure of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$N ($x$ = 0.0, 0.02 and 0.042) grown on Sn-doped $n$-type GaN using photoemission and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Mn $L$-edge x-ray…

While ferromagnetism at relatively high temperatures is seen in diluted magnetic semiconductors such as Ga_(1-x)Mn_(x)As, doped semiconductors without magnetic ions have not shown evidence for ferromagnetism. Using a generalized disordered…

We have investigated 3d electronic states of doped transition metals in II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors, Zn1-xMxSe (M = Mn, Fe, Co) and Zn1-xMnxY (Y = Se, Te), using the transition-metal L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)…

Patterned arrays of ferromagnetic nanoparticles of Co, Ni, and Fe_{\text{50}} Co_{\text{50}} have been synthesized from their ultrathin metal films on SiO_{\text{2}} substrate by nanosecond laser-induced self-organization. The morphology,…

Many investigations and reviews show that II-VI compound semiconductor 1-D nanostructures have a great potential for the future electronic and optoelectronic applications. As an important II-VI semiconductor, ZnSe is one of the most…

Annealing can increase the Curie temperature and net magnetization in uncapped (Ga,Mn)As films, effects that are suppressed when the films are capped with GaAs. Previous polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) studies of uncapped (Ga,Mn)As…

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,…

Extensive studies on the impact of bismuth incorporation into the (Ga,Mn)As prototype dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (DFS) on its structural, magnetic and magnetotransport properties are summarized in this review. Thin epitaxial layers…

This review compiles results of experimental and theoretical studies on thin films and quantum structures of semiconductors with randomly distributed Mn ions, which exhibit spintronic functionalities associated with collective ferromagnetic…

We discuss theoretically how electrons confined to two dimensions in a delta-doped heterostructure can arrange themselves in a droplet-like spatial distribution due to disorder and screening effects when their density is low. We apply this…

The integration of ferromagnetic Mn5Ge3 with the Ge matrix is promising for spin injection in a silicon-compatible geometry. In this paper, we report the preparation of magnetic Mn5Ge3 nanocrystals embedded inside the Ge matrix by Mn ions…

Magnetization of soft-ferromagnetic nano- and microtubes of nanometer-thin walls (a single-widening rolled-up nanomembranes) is theoretically studied using analytical and numerical approaches including different stress-induced anisotropies.…

The manganese induced magnetic, electrical and structural modification in InMnP epilayers, prepared by Mn ion implantation and pulsed laser annealing, are investigated in the following work. All samples exhibit clear hysteresis loops and…

A unique property of metal nanoclusters is the "superatom" shell structure of their delocalized electrons. The electronic shell levels are highly degenerate and therefore represent sharp peaks in the density of states. This can enable…

We demonstrate the manipulation of the Curie temperature of buried layers of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As using nanolithography to enhance the effect of annealing. Patterning the GaAs-capped ferromagnetic layers into nanowires…
