Excitonic Giant Zeeman Effect in Wide Gap Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors Based on ZnO and GaN

ANALYSIS 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...

ZnO-based nanostructures for diluted magnetic semiconductor

Since the prediction by Dietl et al. in the year 2000, extensive research activities have been focused on the ZnObased diluted magnetic materials (DMSs). Earlier works were mainly performed using bulk or thin film materials with transition-metal doping, and diverse magnetic properties including ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism have been reported. Identifying the dominant mechanis...

Part 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...
