We construct a semi-microscopic theory, to describe the optical conductivity of GaMnAs in the dilute limit, x = 1%. We construct an effective Hamiltonian that captures inside-impurity band optical transitions as well as transitions between the valence band and the impurity band. All parameters of the Hamiltonian are computed from microscopic variational calculations. We find a metal-insulator transition within the impurity band in the concentration range, x = 0.2 -0.3 for uncompensated and x = 1-3% for compensated samples, in good agreement with the experiments. We find an optical mass m_opt = m_e, which is almost independent of the impurity concentration excepting in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition, where it reaches values as large as m_opt = 10 m_e. We also reproduce a mid-infrared peak at hbar omega = 200 meV, which redshifts upon doping, in quantitative agreement with the experiments.

We investigate the interaction of two Mn ions in the dilute magnetic semiconductor GaMnAs using the variational envelope wave function approach within the framework of six band model of the valence band. We find that the effective interaction between
the Mn core spins at a typical separation d is strongly anisotropic for active Mn concentrations less than x = 1.3%, but it is almost isotropic for shorter distances (d < 13A). As a result, in unannealed and strongly compensated samples strong frustration effects must be present. We also verify that an effective Hamiltonian description can be used in the dilute limit, x < 1.3%, and extract the parameters of this effective Hamiltonian.
Recent experimental study reveals the optical conductivity of La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ over a wide range of energy and the occurrence of spectral weight transfer as the system transforms from paramagnetic insulating to ferromagnetic metallic phase [Ru
sydi {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {bf 78}, 125110 (2008)]. We propose a model and calculation within the Dynamical Mean Field Theory to explain this phenomenon. We find the role of oxygens in mediating the hopping of electrons between manganeses as the key that determines the structures of the optical conductivity. In addition, by parametrizing the hopping integrals through magnetization, our result suggests a possible scenario that explains the occurrence of spectral weight transfer, in which the ferromagnatic ordering increases the rate of electron transfer from O$_{2p}$ orbitals to upper Mn$_{e_g}$ orbitals while simultaneously decreasing the rate of electron transfer from O$_{2p}$ orbitals to lower Mn$_{e_g}$orbitals, as temperature is varied across the ferromagnetic transition. With this scenario, our optical conductivity calculation shows very good quantitative agreement with the experimental data.
We have performed a systematic magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy study of GaMnAs with varying Mn densities as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and photon energy. Unlike previous studies, the magnetization easy axis was perpendicular to the
sample surface, allowing us to take remanent polar Kerr spectra in the absence of an external magnetic field. The remanent Kerr angle strongly depended on the photon energy, exhibiting a large positive peak at $sim1.7$ eV. This peak increased in intensity and blue-shifted with Mn doping and further blue-shifted with annealing. Using a 30-band ${bf kcdot p}$ model with antiferromagnetic $s,p$-$d$ exchange interaction, we calculated the dielectric tensor of GaMnAs in the interband transition region, assuming that our samples are in the metallic regime and the impurity band has merged with the valence band. We successfully reproduced the observed spectra without emph{ad hoc} introduction of the optical transitions originated from impurity states in the band gap. These results lead us to conclude that above-bandgap magneto-optical Kerr rotation in ferromagnetic GaMnAs is predominantly determined by interband transitions between the conduction and valence bands.
We use femtosecond optical pulses to induce, control and monitor magnetization precession in ferromagnetic Ga0.965Mn0.035As. At temperatures below ~40 K we observe coherent oscillations of the local Mn spins, triggered by an ultrafast photoinduced re
orientation of the in-plane easy axis. The amplitude saturation of the oscillations above a certain pump intensity indicates that the easy axis remains unchanged above ~TC/2. We find that the observed magnetization precession damping (Gilbert damping) is strongly dependent on pump laser intensity, but largely independent on ambient temperature. We provide a physical interpretation of the observed light-induced collective Mn-spin relaxation and precession.
Magnetic properties of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N are studied theoretically by employing a tight binding approach to determine exchange integrals $J_{ij}$ characterizing the coupling between Mn spin pairs located at distances $R_{ij}$ up to the 16th cation co
ordination sphere in zinc-blende GaN. It is shown that for a set of experimentally determined input parameters there are no itinerant carriers and the coupling between localized Mn$^{3+}$ spins in GaN proceeds via superexchange that is ferromagnetic for all explored $R_{ij}$ values. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations serve to evaluate the magnitudes of Curie temperature $T_mathrm{C}$ by the cumulant crossing method. The theoretical values of $T_mathrm{C}(x)$ are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data that are available for Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N with randomly distributed Mn$^{3+}$ ions with the concentrations $0.01 leq x leq 0.1$.
