Local lattice distortions around $\mathrm{M}{\mathrm{n}}^{2+}$ cause in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ga(Mn)As

Hemachander Subramanian, J. E. Han

We theoretically investigate the interplay between local lattice distortions around $\mathrm{M}{\mathrm{n}}^{2+}$ ion impurity and the ion's magnetic polarization, mediated through spin-orbit cou…
