Effects of Disorder on Ferromagnetism in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Abstract

We present results of a numerical mean field treatment of interacting spins and carriers in doped diluted magnetic semiconductors, which takes into account the positional disorder present in these alloy systems. Disorder is found to enhance the ferromagnetic transition temperature significantly for metallic densities not too far from the metal-insulator transition. Concurrently, the ferromagnetic phase is found to have very unusual temperature dependence of the magnetization as well as specific heat as a result of disorder. Unusual spin and charge transport is implied.
