The detailed nature of electronic states mediating ferromagnetic coupling in dilute magnetic semiconductors, specifically (Ga,Mn)As, has been an issue of long debate. Two confronting models have been discussed emphasizing host band vs.…
The mechanism for the ferromagnetic order of (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)N is extensively studied over a vast range of Mn concentrations. We calculate the electronic structures of these materials using density functional theory in both the local…
Qualitatively incorrect results are obtained for the Mn dimer in density functional theory calculations using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and similar results are obtained from local density and meta-GGA functionals. The…
While most calculations on the properties of the ferromagnetic semiconductor GaAs:Mn have focussed on isolated Mn substituting the Ga site (Mn$_{Ga}$), we investigate here whether alternate lattice sites are favored and what the magnetic…
We study quantum interference corrections to the conductivity in (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductors using a model with disordered valence band holes coupled to localized Mn moments through a p-d kinetic-exchange interaction. We find…
The high-spectral-resolution spectroscopic studies of the energy gap evolution, supplemented with electronic, magnetic and structural characterization, show that the modification of the GaAs valence band caused by Mn incorporation occurs…
(Ga,Mn)As is a paradigm diluted magnetic semiconductor which shows ferromagnetism induced by doped hole carriers. With a few controversial models emerged from numerous experimental and theoretical studies, the mechanism of the…
The stability of the nonmodulated martensitic phase, the austenitic Fermi surface and the phonon dispersion relations for ferromagnetic Ni$_2$MnGa are studied using density functional theory. Exchange-correlation effects are considered with…
Ion implantation of Mn combined with pulsed laser melting is employed to obtain two representative compounds of dilute ferromagnetic semiconductors (DFSs): Ga1-xMnxAs and In1-xMnxAs. In contrast to films deposited by the widely used…
We use the local density approximation (LDA) and LDA+U schemes to study the magnetism of (GaMn)As and (GaMn)N for a number of Mn concentrations and varying number of holes. We show that for both systems and both calculational schemes the…
A direct observation of the giant Zeeman splitting of the free excitons in (Ga,Fe)N is reported. The magnetooptical and magnetization data imply the ferromagnetic sign and a reduced magnitude of the effective p-d exchange energy governing…
Various experimental results providing information on thermodynamic density of states in (Ga,Mn)As are analyzed theoretically assuming that holes occupy GaAs-like valence bands. Allowing for Gaussian fluctuations of magnetization, the…
Modulation photoreflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy have been applied to study the electronic- and band-structure evolution in (Ga,Mn)As epitaxial layers with increasing Mn doping in the range of low Mn content, up to 1.2%.…
Results of magnetisation measurements on p-type zincblende-(Ga,Mn)N are reported. In addition to a small high temperature ferromagnetic signal, we detect ferromagnetic correlation among the remaining Mn ions, which we assign to the onset of…
The recently reported Rutherford backscattering and particle-induced X-ray emission experiments have revealed that in low-temperature MBE grown GaMnAs a significant part of the incorporated Mn atoms occupies tetrahedral interstitial sites…
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…
We present first-principles electronic structure calculations of Mn doped III-V semiconductors based on the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) as well as the self-interaction corrected local spin density method (SIC-LSD). We find that…
The discovery of ferromagnetism in Mn doped GaAs [1] has ignited interest in the development of semiconductor technologies based on electron spin and has led to several proof-of-concept spintronic devices [2-4]. A major hurdle for realistic…
Mn doped semiconductors are extremely interesting systems due to their novel magnetic properties suitable for the spintronics applications. It has been shown recently by both theory and experiment that Mn doped GaN systems have a very high…
Using the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) and the (non self-consistent) GW approach, the (quasi-particle) band structure is calculated for MnTe in zinc-blende geometry. Different parameters characterizing the electronic structure…
