ABSTRACTThe study of ferromagnetic transition of Ga1-xMnxAs dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) is much of interest mainly due to the potential application in spintronic devices. Based on the mean field approach we present the average contribution of the hole spins by considering the holes in an impurity band (IB) and the critical concentration for the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in this semiconductor. In order to calculate the mean configuration of spins of impurities Mn+2 we use a formalism proposed for a spatial disordered system. The results for the metallic densities around the MIT transition are compared to experimental results and other theoretical findings.
