Transport properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors: Dynamical mean-field theory and Boltzmann theory

Theory 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...

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...

Transport and magnetic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductors

We report on electrical transport and magnetic properties of quaternary single crystals of Sb 1.98–x V 0.02 Cr x Te 3 and Sb 1.984–y V 0.016 Mn y Te 3 with x ranging from 0 to 0.022 and y ranging from 0 to 0.034 over temperatures from 2 K to 300 K. Ternary crystals Sb 2–z V z Te 3 were reported to have rather small magnetization in the ferromagnetic state due to low spin of vanadium ions. There...

Dynamical mean-field theory

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory.

The many-body formalism for dynamical mean-field theory is extended to treat nonequilibrium problems. We illustrate how the formalism works by examining the transient decay of the oscillating current that is driven by a large electric field turned on at time t=0. We show how the Bloch oscillations are quenched by the electron-electron interactions, and how their character changes dramatically f...
