This work presents results of near-band gap magnetooptical studies on (Zn,Mn)O epitaxial layers. We observe excitonic transitions in reflectivity and photoluminescence, that shift towards higher energies when the Mn concentration increases and split nonlinearly under the magnetic field. Excitonic shifts are determined by the s,p-d exchange coupling to magnetic ions, by the electron-hole s-p exchange, and the spin-orbit interactions. A quantitative description of the magnetoreflectivity findings indicates that the free excitons A and B are associated with the Gamma_7 and Gamma_9 valence bands, respectively, the order reversed as compared to wurtzite GaN. Furthermore, our results show that the magnitude of the giant exciton splittings, specific to dilute magnetic semiconductors, is unusual: the magnetoreflectivity data is described by an effective exchange energy N_0(beta-alpha)=+0.2+/-0.1 eV, what points to small and positive N_0 beta. It is shown that both the increase of the gap with x and the small positive value of the exchange energy N_0 beta corroborate recent theory describing the exchange splitting of the valence band in a non-perturbative way, suitable for the case of a strong p-d hybridization.

We present a spectroscopic study of (Zn,Co)O layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates. (Zn,Co)O is commonly considered as a promising candidate for being a Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor ferromagnetic at room temperature. We perf
ormed magneto-optical spectroscopy in the Faraday configuration, by applying a magnetic field up to 11 T, at temperatures down to 1.5 K. For very dilute samples (less than 0.5% Co), the giant Zeeman splitting of the A and B excitons is observed at low temperature. It is proportional to the magnetization of isolated Co ions, as calculated using the anisotropy and g-factor deduced from the spectroscopy of the d-d transitions. This demonstrates the existence of spin-carrier coupling. Electron-hole exchange within the exciton has a strong effect on the giant Zeeman splitting observed on the excitons. From the effective spin-exciton coupling, <N0(Alpha-Beta)>_X=0.4 eV, we estimate the difference of the exchange integrals for free carriers, N0|Alpha-Beta|=0.8 eV. The magnetic circular dichroism observed near the energy gap was found to be proportional to the paramagnetic magnetization of anisotropic Co ions even for higher Co contents.
Dopants of transition metal ions in II-VI semiconductors exhibit native 2+ valency. Despite this, 3+ or mixed 3+/2+ valency of iron ions in ZnO was reported previously. Several contradictory mechanisms have been put forward for explanation of this fa
ct so far. Here, we analyze Fe valency in ZnO by complementary theoretical and experimental studies. Our calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA+U) indicate that the Fe ion is a relatively shallow donor. Its stable charge state is Fe2+ in ideal ZnO, however, the high energy of the (+/0) transition level enhances the compensation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ by non-intentional acceptors in real samples. Using several experimental methods like electron paramagnetic resonance, magnetometry, conductivity, excitonic magnetic circular dichroism and magneto-photoluminescence we confirm the 3+ valency of the iron ions in polycrystalline (Zn,Fe)O films with the Fe content attaining 0.2%.We find a predicted increase of n-type conductivity upon the Fe doping with the Fe donor ionization energy of 0.25 +/- 0.02 eV consistent with the results of theoretical considerations. Moreover, our magnetooptical measurements confirm the calculated non-vanishing s,p-d exchange interaction between band carriers and localized magnetic moments of the Fe3+ ions in the ZnO, being so far an unsettled issue.
A series of recent magnetooptical studies pointed to contradicting values of the s-d exchange energy N0{alpha} in Mn-doped GaAs and GaN as well as in Fe-doped GaN. Here, a strong sensitivity of weak-localization phenomena to symmetry breaking perturb
ations (such as spin-splitting and spin-disorder scattering) is exploited to evaluate the magnitude of N0{alpha} for n-type wurtzite (Ga,Mn)N:Si films grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. Millikelvin magnetoresistance studies and their quantitative interpretation point to N0{alpha} < 40 meV, a value at least 5 times smaller than the one found with similar measurements on, e.g., $n$-(Zn,Mn)O. It is shown that this striking difference in the values of the s-d coupling between $n$-type III-V and II-VI dilute magnetic semiconductors can be explained by a theory that takes into account the acceptor character of Mn in III-V compounds.
We report measurements of charmed-hadron ($D^{0}$, $D^{*}$) production cross sections at mid-rapidity in $p$ + $p$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV by the STAR experiment. Charmed hadrons were reconstructed via the hadronic decays $D^
{0}rightarrow K^{-}pi^{+}$, $D^{*+}rightarrow D^{0}pi^{+}rightarrow K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$ and their charge conjugates, covering the $p_T$ range of 0.6$-$2.0 GeV/$c$ and 2.0$-$6.0 GeV/$c$ for $D^{0}$ and $D^{*+}$, respectively. From this analysis, the charm-pair production cross section at mid-rapidity is $dsigma/dy|_{y=0}^{cbar{c}}$ = 170 $pm$ 45 (stat.) $^{+38}_{-59}$ (sys.) $mu$b. The extracted charm-pair cross section is compared to perturbative QCD calculations. The transverse momentum differential cross section is found to be consistent with the upper bound of a Fixed-Order Next-to-Leading Logarithm calculation.
We report the discovery of a new diluted magnetic semiconductor, Li(Zn,Mn)P, in which charge and spin are introduced independently via lithium off-stoichiometry and the isovalent substitution of Mn2+ for Zn2+, respectively. Isostructural to (Ga,Mn)As
, Li(Zn,Mn)P was found to be a p-type ferromagnetic semiconductor with excess Lithium providing charge doping. First principles calculations indicate that excess Li is favored to partially occupy the Zn site, leading to hole doping. Ferromagnetism is mediated in semiconducting samples of relative low mobile carriers with a small coercive force, indicating an easy spin flip.
