System Properties

Effects of photo-excitation and spin-wave scattering on magnetization of the diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) ( Ga , Mn ) As are theoretically studied. Green function formalism is used to find expression for magnetization and ferromagnetic transition temperature TC starting with a model Hamiltonian consisting of magnons, photons and an interaction of magnons with photons. According to our calculation, there is TC in the absence of magnetic impurity, x = 0, indicating that there could be electronically unpaired influential carriers/holes induced by photon irradiation resulting in residual itinerant band magnetization which can be revealed by experiments. Unusual upturn in magnetization near 0 K temperature values for larger magnon–photon coupling constant is also indicated. Moreover, enhancement of magnetization is established with increase in impurity concentration and even further in the presence of photon–magnon coupling which however decreases due to spin-wave scattering. This leads to the conclusion that at lower temperatures photon irradiation and at higher temperatures spin-wave scattering could affect the system properties predominantly.

AbstractWe report the effect of chemical pressure on the ferromagnetic ordering of the recently reported n-type diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba(Zn$$_{1-x}$$ 1 - x Co$$_{x}$$ x )$$_{2}$$ 2 As$$_{2}$$ 2 which has a maximum $$T_C$$ T C $$\sim$$ ∼ 45 K. Doping Sb into As-site and Sr into Ba-site induces negative and positive chemical pressure, respectively. While conserving the tetragonal crystal structure and n-type carriers, the unit cell volume shrink by $$\sim$$ ∼ 0.3$$\%$$ % with 15$$\%$$ % Sr doping, but drastically increase the ferromagnetic transition temperature by 18$$\%$$ % to 53 K. Our experiment unequivocally demonstrate that the parameters of Zn(Co)As$$_{4}$$ 4 tetrahedra play a vital role in the formation of ferromagnetic ordering in the Ba(Zn,Co)$$_{2}$$ 2 As$$_{2}$$ 2 DMS.

We study the ferromagnetism in III-V diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) quantum-wells theoretically and numerically taking into account the occupation of multiple subbands by holes in quantum wells. Starting from the mean-field theory of carrier-induced ferromagnetism in III-V DMS along with the exchange-correlation interaction of holes within the local spin density approximation, we found that the ferromagnetic transition temperature Tc of DMS quantum-wells exhibits step-function-like dependence on the hole density, reflecting the quasi-two-dimensional nature of systems. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the spin polarization shows quite distinct characteristics depending on the hole density.
