Polaron percolation in diluted magnetic semiconductors

arXiv:cond-mat/0201229 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.247202

Abstract

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, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulation results and good qualitative agreement with experimental results.
