Magnetic Properties of Chalcopyrite-Based Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

We calculated the chemical trends of transition metal-doped chalcopyrite DMS (diluted magnetic semiconductors) by the use of KKR–CPA–LDA method. The ferromagnetism was stable in V- and Cr-doped chalcopyrite DMS. In the case of Fe and Co doping, however, the spinglass-like state was realized. On the other hand, in the cases of Mn doped I-III-VI₂ and II-IV-V₂ type DMS, the ground state was ferromagnetic and spinglass-like, respectively.     

Transport and Optical Properties of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

We investigated the transport and optical properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors theoretically by using a simple model where carriers move in a single band. In this model the carrier feels a nonmagnetic potential at a magnetic impurity site, and its spin interacts with the localized spins of the magnetic impurities through exchange interactions. The electronic states of a carrier were calculated by using the coherent potential approximation (CPA). The magnetism was investigated by minimizing the free-energy and the electrical conductivity was calculated by using the Kubo formula. We examined the results in several typical cases which correspond to (Ga_1–xMn_x)As with x = 0.05.     

Magnetic Properties of Zn0.8(Fe0.1,Co0.1)O Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors: Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Structural and magnetic properties of Zn_0.8(Fe_0.1, Co_0.1)O bulk diluted magnetic semiconductor have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) images confirmed the high crystallinity and grain size of Zn_0.8(Fe_0.1,Co_0.1)O powder, the samples were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to confirm the expected stoichiometry. This sample has been synthesized by co-precipitation route. The study of magnetization hysteresis loop measurements infers that the bulk sample of Zn_0.8(Fe_0.1,Co_0.1)O shows a well-defined hysteresis loop at T _c (200?K) temperature, which reflects its ferromagnetic behavior. Hydrogenation treatment was used for the control of phase separation. Based on first-principles spin-density functional calculations, using the Korringa?CKohn?CRostoker method (KKR) combined with the coherent potential approximation (CPA), the ferromagnetic state energy was calculated and compared with the local-moment-disordered (LMD) state energy. The mechanism of hybridization and interaction between magnetic ions in Zn_0.8(Fe_0.1,Co_0.1)O is also investigated.

Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors in the Low Carrier Density Regime

This paper, based on a presentation at the Spintronics 2001 conference, provides a review of our studies on II–VI and III–V Mn-doped Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors. We use simple models appropriate for the low carrier density (insulating) regime, although we believe that some of the unusual features of the magnetization curves should qualitatively be present at larger dopings (metallic regime) as well. Positional disorder of the magnetic impurities inside the host semiconductor is shown to have observable consequences for the shape of the magnetization curve. Below the critical temperature the magnetization is spatially inhomogeneous, leading to very unusual temperature dependence of the average magnetization as well as specific heat. Disorder is also found to enhance the ferromagnetic transition temperature. Unusual spin and charge transport is implied.     

Ab Initio Study of Curie Temperatures of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

The Curie temperature of diluted (Ga,Mn)As magnetic semiconductors in the presence of As antisites is studied from first principles. We map total energies associated with rotations of Mn-magnetic moments onto the effective classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian which is treated in the mean-field approximation to find the Curie temperature. The presence of donors strongly reduces the Curie temperature and gives rise to a ground state with a partial disorder of local moments. We show that the observed dependence of the Curie temperature on the Mn concentration indicates that the concentration of As antisites increases with the Mn content.
