Boosting the Curie temperature with correlations in diluted magnetic semiconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a quantitative theory for the effects of correlated doping on the ferromagnetism of diluted magnetic semiconductors. It predicts that room temperature ferromagnetism should be possible in homogeneous, but correlated, samples of MnxGa1−xAs. The theory predicts lower critical temperatures for MnxGa1−xN.

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...

Emerging for future spintronic/electronic applications, magnetic semiconductors have stimulated intense interest due to their promises for new functionalities and device concepts. So far, the so-called diluted magnetic semiconductors attract many attentions, yet it remains challenging to increase their Curie temperatures above room temperature, particularly those based on III-V 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 کاملPolaron percolation in diluted magnetic semiconductors.
We theoretically study the development of spontaneous magnetization in diluted magnetic semiconductors as arising from a percolation of bound magnetic polarons. Within the framework of a generalized percolation theory we derive analytic expressions for the Curie temperature and the magnetization in the limit of low carrier density, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo sim...
متن کاملAb initio study of Curie temperatures of diluted III - V magnetic semiconductors
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 are treated using the coherent potential approximation. A ground state with partial disorder in the local moments and with a reduced total magnetic moment appe...
