We present a theory of interstitial Mn in Mn-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors. Using density-functional theory, we show that under the non-equilibrium conditions of growth, interstitial Mn is easily formed near the surface by a simple…
A systematic study of hole compensation effect on magnetic properties, which is controlled by defect compensation through ion irradiation, in (Ga,Mn)As, (In,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)P is presented in this work. In all materials, both Curie…
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…
Carrier induced ferromagnetism in diluted III-V semi-conductor is analyzed within a two step approach. First, within a single site CPA formalism, we calculate the element resolved averaged Green's function of the itinerant carrier. Then…
A density functional theory of ferromagnetism in heterostructures of compound semiconductors doped with magnetic impurities is presented. The variable functions in the density functional theory are the charge and spin densities of the…
The electronic structure of diluted (Ga,Mn)As magnetic semiconductors in the presence of As-antisites and magnetic disorder is studied within the framework of the local spin density approximation. Both the chemical and magnetic disorders…
We calculate Curie temperatures and study the stability of ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic materials, taking as a model for the exchange between magnetic impurities a damped Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction and a shor t…
We propose that localized defects in magnetic semiconductors act as deep impurities and can be described by the Anderson model. Within this model, hybridization of d-orbitals and p-orbitals gives rise to a non-RKKY indirect exchange…
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…
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…
For the prototype diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As, there is a fundamental concern about the electronic states near the Fermi level, i.e., whether the Fermi level resides in a well-separated impurity band derived from Mn doping…
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…
The mean-field and effective-field approximations are applied in the study of magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a spin-$1/2$ Ising system containing three layers, each of which is composed exclusively of one out of two possible types…
We report on a comprehensive combined experimental and theoretical study of Curie temperature trends in (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductors. Broad agreement between theoretical expectations and measured data allows us to conclude that…
Using Monte Carlo simulations with the Metropolis algorithm, the magnetic and thermodynamic behaviours of a spin-1/2, trilayered ferrimagnetic system on triangular monolayers with quenched nonmagnetic impurities are studied. Two different…
Diluted ferromagnetic III-V semiconductors typically show a high degree of compensation. Compensation is connected to the presence of comparable densities of charged defects of either sign. This naturally leads to the development of strong…
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…
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…
Considerable efforts have been devoted recently to synthesize diluted magnetic semiconductors having ferromagnetic properties at room temperature because of their technological impacts for spintronic devices. In 2001 successful growth of…
We present a detailed study, within the mean-field approximation, of an impurity band model for III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors. Such a model should be relevant at low carrier densities, below and near the metal-insulator transition.…
