One-electron tunneling through a quantum dot with a strong magnetic field in the direction of the current is studied. The linear magneto-conductance is computed for a model parabolic dot with seven electrons in the intermediate states and…
We report the low-temperature properties of phase-pure single crystals of the half-Heusler compound CuMnSb grown by means of optical float-zoning. The magnetization, specific heat, electrical resistivity, and Hall effect of our single…
Otherwise antiferromagnetic chromium is shown to couple ferromagnetically when doped into GaN irrespective of whether the host is a crystal or a cluster. The results on the doped clusters and crystals are obtained from density functional…
The author reviews the present understanding of the hole-mediated ferromagnetism in magnetically doped semiconductors and oxides as well as the origin of high temperature ferromagnetism in materials containing no valence band holes. It is…
Two-dimensional (2D) high-temperature ferromagnetic materials are important for spintronic application. Fortunately, a highly-air-stable PdSe$_2$ monolayer semiconductor has been made through exfoliation from the layered bulk material. It…
Diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors (DMSs) that combine the properties of semiconductors with ferromagnetism have potential application in spin-sensitive electronics (spintronics) devices. The search for DMS materials exploded after the…
The discoveries of two-dimensional ferromagnetism and magnetic semiconductors highly enrich the magnetic material family for constructing spin-based electronic devices but with an acknowledged challenge that the Curie temperature (Tc) is…
Using a laterally-fabricated quantum-dot (QD) spin-valve device, we experimentally study the Kondo effect in the electron transport through a semiconductor QD with an odd number of electrons (N). In a parallel magnetic configuration of the…
We propose to replace Ga in (Ga,Mn)As with Li and Zn as a route to high Curie temperature, carrier mediated ferromagnetism in a dilute moment n-type semiconductor. Superior material characteristics, rendering Li(Zn,Mn)As a realistic…
Magnetic semiconductors have attracted interest because of the question of how a magnetic metal can be derived from a paramagnetic insulator. Here our approach is to carrier dope insulating FeSi and we show that the magnetic half-metal…

We consider the situation when a femtosecond laser pulse creates a hot electron state in half-metallic ferromagnet (e. g. ferromagnetic semiconductor) on a picosecond timescale but do not act directly on localized spin system. We show that…
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…
Magnetic semimetals form an attractive class of materials because of the non-trivial contributions of itinerant electrons to magnetism. Due to their relatively low-carrier-density nature, a doping level of those materials could be largely…
A quantum dot is a sub-micron-scale conducting device containing up to several thousand electrons. Transport through a quantum dot at low temperatures is a quantum-coherent process. This review focuses on dots in which the electron's…
We consider effects of magnetic field on the thermopower and thermoconductance of a single-electron transistor based on a quantum dot strongly coupled to one of the leads by a single-mode quantum point contact. We show appearance of two new…
The question whether the Anderson-Mott localisation enhances or reduces magnetic correlations is central to the physics of magnetic alloys. Particularly intriguing is the case of (Ga,Mn)As and related magnetic semiconductors, for which…
The concept of low-voltage depletion and accumulation of electron charge in semiconductors, utilized in field-effect transistors (FETs), is one of the cornerstones of current information processing technologies. Spintronics which is based…
The magnetic properties of a variety of materials with promise for technological applications have been described by models in which fermions are coupled to local moment spins. Monte Carlo studies of such models usually ignore…
The off-equilibrium probability distribution of the heat exchanged by a ferromagnet in a time interval after a quench below the critical point is calculated analytically in the large-N limit. The distribution is characterized by a singular…
