Electrically driven magnetization of diluted magnetic semiconductors actuated by the Overhauser effect.
It is well known that the Curie temperature, and hence the magnetization, in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) like Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As can be controlled by changing the equilibrium density of holes in the material. Here, we propose that even with a constant hole density, large changes in the magnetization can be obtained with a relatively small imbalance in the quasi-Fermi levels for up-spin an...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF SOME MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF DILUTED MAGNETIC SEMICONDUCTORS
The susceptibility and specific heat experimental results of the diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are incorporated in a model based on short-range as well as long-range interaction in a random may of magnetic ions. The so-called nearestneighbor pair approximation (NNPA) is applied. It appears that the calculated values of zero field specific heat and Curie-Weiss temperature based on th...
متن کاملCharge and magnetization inhomogeneities in diluted magnetic semiconductors.
It is predicted that III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors can exhibit stripelike modulations of magnetization and carrier concentration. This inhomogeneity results from the strong dependence of the magnetization on the carrier concentration. Within Landau theory, a characteristic temperature T* below the Curie temperature is found so that below T* the equilibrium magnetization shows modulation...
متن کاملPart II Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors First-Principles Study of the Magnetism of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors
We report the density-functional-theory calculations of the exchange interactions and Curie temperature for a series of III-V and II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors. We focus the discussion on the role of the holes in the establishing the ferromagnetic order in various systems. We suggest a method of the quantitative characterization of the properties of the holes. It is shown that there are...
متن کاملTheory of Ferromagnetism in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors
Carrier-induced ferromagnetism has been observed in several (III,Mn)V semiconductors. We review the theoretical picture of these ferromagnetic semiconductors that emerges from a model with kinetic-exchange coupling between localized Mn spins and valence-band carriers. We discuss the applicability of this model, the validity of a mean-field approximation for its interaction term widely used in t...
