Magnetic properties of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N are studied theoretically by employing a tight binding approach to determine exchange integrals $J_{ij}$ characterizing the coupling between Mn spin pairs located at distances $R_{ij}$ up to the 16th…
We present a semi-analytic theory for the Curie temperature in diluted magnetic semi-conductors that treats disorder effects exactly in the effective Heisenberg Hamiltonian, and spin fluctuations within a local RPA. The exchange couplings…
The magnetic properties of as-grown Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As have been investigated by the systematic measurements of temperature and magnetic field dependent soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The {\it intrinsic} XMCD intensity at…
Molecular beam epitaxy has been employed to obtain Ga1-xMnxN films with x up to 10% and Curie temperatures T_C up to 13 K. The magnitudes of T_C and their dependence on x, T_C(x) ~ x^m, where m = 2.2 +/- 0.2 are quantitatively described by…
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…
Kerr rotation and Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometry measurements were performed on ultrathin (Ga$_{0.95}$Mn$_{0.05}$)As layers. The thinner layers (below 250 \AA) exhibit magnetic properties different than…
We provide a quantitative theoretical model study of the dynamical magnetic properties of optimally annealed Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As. This model has already been shown to reproduce accurately the Curie temperatures for Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As. Here…
We review recently developed two-step approach for description of electronic and magnetic properties of a new class of materials, the diluted magnetic semiconductors. In the first step we construct, on the basis of the state-of-the-art…
We study the dependence of magnetic interactions and Curie temperature in Ni(1+x)MnSb system on the Ni concentration within the framework of the density-functional theory. The calculation of the exchange parameters is based on the…
We report on a monotonic reduction of Curie temperature in dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As upon a well controlled chemical-etching/oxidizing thinning from 15 nm down to complete removal of the ferro- magnetic response. The…
Specific heat measurements were used to study the magnetic phase transition in Ga1-xMnxAs. Two different types of Ga1-xMnxAs samples have been investigated. The sample with a Mn concentration of 1.6% shows insulating behavior, and the…
The collective behavior of spins in a dilute magnetic semiconductor is determined by their mutual interactions and influenced by the underlying crystal structure. Hence, we begin with the atomic quantum-mechanical description of this system…
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…
Experimental investigations of diluted magnetic semiconductors indicate a strong relation between Curie temperature and conductivity. Both quantities depend non trivially on the concentration of magnetic impurities, the carrier density, and…
The current theoretical and experimental situations are reviewed for low-dimensional insulating systems with a low magnetic transition temperature TM and pronounced short-range magnetic order above this temperature. Both the standard and…
Here we present details of a calculation that allows us to extract a surface density of unpaired spins from flux vs. temperature experiments performed on field-cooled dc Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (dc SQUIDs).
The Curie temperature TC is investigated as a function of the hole concentration p in thin films of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. The magnetic properties are probed by transport measurements and p is varied by the application of an…
We present a theory to model carrier mediated ferromagnetism in concentrated or diluted local moment systems. The electronic subsystem of the Kondo lattice model is described by a combined equation of motion / coherent potential…
We present results of a numerical analysis of magnon spectra in supercells simulating two-dimensional and bulk random diluted ferromagnets with long-ranged pair exchange interactions. We show that low-energy spectral regions for these…
