We employ the dynamical mean field approximation to perform a systematic study of magnetism in Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs. Our model incorporates the effects of the strong spin-orbit coupling on the J=3/2 GaAs valence bands and of the exchange…
We study the magnetic properties of metallic GaMnAs. We calculate the effective RKKY interaction between Mn spins using several realistic models for the valence band structure of GaAs. We also study the effect of positional disorder of the…
We demonstrate that the magnetization in magnetic semiconductors exhibits nutational motion when subjected to an external magnetic field. This behavior originates from the splitting of the conduction-electron band which induces anisotropic,…
We investigate the interaction of two Mn ions in the dilute magnetic semiconductor GaMnAs using the variational envelope wave function approach within the framework of six band model of the valence band. We find that the effective…
We study the theoretical model of a ferromagnetic semiconductor as a system of randomly distributed Ising spins with a long-range exchange interaction. Using the density-of-states approach, we analytically obtain the magnetic susceptibility…
The current status and prospects of research on ferromagnetism in semiconductors are reviewed. The question of the origin of ferromagnetism in europium chalcogenides, chromium spinels and, particularly, in diluted magnetic semiconductors is…
We have performed ab initio calculations within the density-functional theory for Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs diluted semiconductors. Total energy results unambiguously show that a quasi-localized down-spin hole, with strong p-like character, surrounds…
We present a microscopic theory of the long-wavelength magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. Details of the host semiconductor band structure, described by a six-band Kohn-Luttinger Hamiltonian,…
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…
The spin-orbit interaction in semiconductors is shown to result in an anisotropic contribution into the exchange Hamiltonian of a pair of localized conduction-band electrons. The anisotropic exchange interaction exists in semiconductor…
In a diluted magnetic semiconductor system, the exchange interaction between magnetic impurities has two independent components: a direct antiferromagnetic interaction and a ferromagnetic interaction mediated by charge carriers. Depending…
Although magnetic frustration in metals provides a promising avenue for novel quantum phenomena, their microscopic interpretation is often challenging. Here we use the face-centered cubic intermetallic HoInCu$_4$ as model material to show…
We study the ferromagnetism of Ga1-xMnxAs by using a model Hamiltonian, based on an impurity band and the anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the spins of Mn atoms and the charge carriers in the impurity band. Based on the mean…
Motivated by the recent suggestion of anisotropic effective exchange interactions between Mn spins in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As (arising as a result of spin-orbit coupling), we study their effects in diluted Heisenberg spin systems. We perform…
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…
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 employ a kinetic-exchange tight-binding model to calculate the magnetic interaction and anisotropy energies of a pair of substitutional Mn atoms in GaAs as a function of their separation distance and direction. We find that the most…
The origin of ferromagnetism in semimagnetic III-V materials is discussed. The indirect exchange interaction caused by virtual electron excitations from magnetic impurity level in the bandgap to the valence band can explain ferromagnetism…
A brief review of theory of ferromagnetism of dilute magnetic semiconductors of the form (A,Mn)B based on the double exchange model is first given. A systematic investigation of the phenomena extending the current theory is outlined. We…
We derive an effective Hamiltonian for ${\rm Ga}_{1-x}{\rm Mn}_x {\rm As}$ in the dilute limit, where ${\rm Ga}_{1-x}{\rm Mn}_x {\rm As}$ can be described in terms of spin $F=3/2$ polarons hopping between the {\rm Mn} sites and coupled to…
