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

Electronic states in disordered conductors on the verge of localization are predicted to
exhibit critical spatial characteristics indicative of the proximity to a metal-insulator phase …

Over the past two decades, the research of (Ga, Mn) As has led to a deeper understanding
of relativistic spin-dependent phenomena in magnetic systems. It has also led to discoveries …

Abstract The ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga, Mn) As has emerged as the most studied
material for prototype applications in semiconductor spintronics. Because ferromagnetism in …

Spin-based electronics or spintronics is an emerging field, in which we try to utilize spin
degrees of freedom as well as charge transport in materials and devices. While metal-based …

The origin of ferromagnetism in the prototype ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs is
controversial because of an insufficient understanding of its band structure and Fermi level …

Over the past two decades, intensive studies on various ferromagnetic semiconductor (FMS)
materials have failed to realize reliable FMSs that have a high Curie temperature (TC> 300 …

We explore the basic physical origins of the noncrystalline and crystalline components of the
anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in (Ga, Mn) As. The sign of the noncrystalline AMR is …

(Ga, Mn) As is a paradigm of a diluted magnetic semiconductor which shows
ferromagnetism induced by doped hole carriers. With a few controversial models emerging …
