This review compiles results of experimental and theoretical studies on thin films and
quantum structures of semiconductors with randomly distributed Mn ions, which exhibit …

The body of research on (III, Mn) V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) initiated during
the 1990s has concentrated on three major fronts:(i) the microscopic origins and …

Optical birefringence is a fundamental optical property of crystals widely used for filtering
and beam splitting of photons. Birefringent crystals concurrently possess the property of …

We demonstrate by magneto-transport measurements that a Curie temperature as high as
200 K can be obtained in nanostructures of (Ga, Mn) As. Heavily Mn-doped (Ga, Mn) As …

One-dimensional (1D) undoped and Fe doped ZnO nanorods of average length∼ 1μm and
diameter∼ 50nm have been obtained using a microwave-assisted synthesis. The …

Spintronics, or spin-based data storage and manipulation technology, is emerging as a very
active research area because of both new science and potential technological applications …

Studies on MnAs, and in particular of its magnetostructural phase transition, have a long
history. As a promising material for ferromagnet/semiconductor hybrid structures with new …

Na doped ZnO films were fabricated via a hydrothermal process. The films have shown room
temperature ferromagnetism and p-type conductivity. Crossover of positive to negative …

In this paper, we use simultaneous magnetometry and electrical transport measurements to
critically examine ways in which the Curie temperature (TC) values have been determined in …

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the effect of surface passivation on the
impurity distribution and magnetic properties in Mn-doped GaAs nanowires. A comparative …
