Temperature-dependent magnetization in diluted magnetic semiconductors
arXiv:cond-mat/0211496 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.67.155201
Abstract
We calculate magnetization in magnetically doped semiconductors assuming a local exchange model of carrier-mediated ferromagnetic mechanism and using a number of complementary theoretical approaches. In general, we find that the results of our mean-field calculations, particularly the dynamical mean field theory results, give excellent qualitative agreement with the experimentally observed magnetization in systems with itinerant charge carriers, such as Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs with 0.03 < x < 0.07, whereas our percolation-theory-based calculations agree well with the existing data in strongly insulating materials, such as Ge_{1-x}Mn_x. We comment on the issue of non-mean-field like magnetization curves and on the observed incomplete saturation magnetization values in diluted magnetic semiconductors from our theoretical perspective. In agreement with experimental observations, we find the carrier density to be the crucial parameter determining the magnetization behavior. Our calculated dependence of magnetization on external magnetic field is also in excellent agreement with the existing experimental data.
