Introduction to the physics of diluted magnetic semiconductors

The book deals with diluted magnetic semiconductors, a class of materials important to the emerging field of spintronics. In these materials semiconductingproperties, both transport and optical, are influenced by the presence of magnetic ions. It concentrates on basic physical mechanisms (e.g. carrier-ion andion-ion interactions) and resulting phenomena (e.g. magnetic polaron formation and spin relaxation). Introduction to the Physics of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors is addressed to graduate-level and doctoral students and young researchers entering the field. The authors have been actively involved in the creation of this branch of semiconductor physics. Deals with a new class of materials, diluted magnetic semiconductors International top researchers present the state-of-the-art as well as the basics and applications of these materials A valuable reference for researchers and engineers alike Also serves as a text for graduate students INDICE: Introduction.- Rudimentaries.- Large Gap DMS.- Magnetic Ion Wavefunctions and Interactions.- Dimensionality-Dependent Ion-Carrier Interaction.- Relaxation, Energy Transfer in Spin Systems, Transfer of Excitation from Mn toBand States and Vice Versa.- Spectroscopy of Spin-Polarized 2D Carrier Gas.- Interlayer Interactions.- Spin Superlattices, Spin Tracing.- Semimagnetic Quantum Dots.- Quantum Hall Ferromagnetism in DMS.
