A remarkable number of methods for direct, real-space imaging in magnetic microscopy
have been demonstrated over the past decade and a half, and the pace of development …

The studies of spin phenomena in semiconductor low-dimensional systems have grown into
the rapidly develo** area of the condensed matter physics: spintronics. The most urgent …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

The optical properties of the six broad-gap ternary mixed crystals (Zn, Mn) and (Cd, Mn)
sulfide, selenide and telluride are reviewed. The conventional optical properties which are …

We report on the new type of photoinduced magnetization in ferromagnetic (Ga, Mn) As thin
films. Optically generated spin-polarized holes change the orientation of ferromagnetically …

This invention relates generally to magnetic disk data Storage Systems, and more
particularly to inductive write heads for magnetic data Storage media. Magnetic disk drives …

A description of spin Faraday rotation, Kerr rotation and ellipticity signals for single-and
multilayer ensembles of singly charged quantum dots (QDs) is developed. The microscopic …

A newly developed integrated SQUID magnetic spectrometer yields direct high-resolution
measurements of the optically induced magnetization in a 10 μm-diam sample of Cd 0.8 Mn …

We report on the observation of ultrafast photoenhanced ferromagnetism in GaMnAs. It is
manifested as a transient magnetization increase on a 100 ps time scale, after an initial …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS).
New aspects of DMS physics are reviewed and an update of various numerical data that are …
