We have undertaken a study of diluted magnetic semiconductors $Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}N$ and $Ga_{1-x}Cr_{x}N$ with $x=0.0625, 0.125$, using the all electron linearized augmented plane wave method (LAPW) for different configurations of Mn as well as Cr. We study four possible configurations of the impurity in the wurtzite GaN structure to predict energetically most favorable structure within the 32 atom supercell and conclude that the near-neighbor configuration has the lowest energy. We have also analyzed the ferro-magnetic as well as anti-ferromagnetic configurations of the impurity atoms. The density of states as well as bandstructure indicate half metallic state for all the systems. $T_c$ has also been estimated for the above systems.

We present a time-resolved optical study of the dynamics of carriers and phonons in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As layers for a series of Mn and hole concentrations. While band filling is the dominant effect in transient optical absorption in low-temperature-grown
(LT) GaAs, band gap renormalization effects become important with increasing Mn concentration in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As, as inferred from the sign of the absorption change. We also report direct observation on lattice vibrations in Ga1-xMnxAs layers via reflective electro-optic sampling technique. The data show increasingly fast dephasing of LO phonon oscillations for samples with increasing Mn and hole concentration, which can be understood in term of phonon scattering by the holes.
We have studied the magnetic-field and concentration dependences of the magnetizations of the hole and Mn subsystems in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs. A mean-field approximation to the hole-mediated interaction is used, in which
the hole concentration p(x) is parametrized in terms of a fitting (of the hole effective mass and hole/local moment coupling) to experimental data on the Tc critical temperature. The dependence of the magnetizations with x, for a given temperature, presents a sharply peaked structure, with maxima increasing with applied magnetic field, which indicates that application to diluted-magnetic-semiconductor devices would require quality-control of the Mn-doping composition. We also compare various experimental data for Tc(x) and p(x) on different Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs samples and stress the need of further detailed experimental work to assure that the experimental measurements are reproducible.
We present the studies of Sn/1-x/Cr/x/Te semimagnetic semiconductors with chemical composition x ranging from 0.004 to 0.012. The structural characterization indicates that even at low average Cr-content x < ?0.012, the aggregation into micrometer si
ze clusters appears in our samples. The magnetic properties are affected by the presence of clusters. In all our samples we observe the transition into the ordered state at temperatures between 130 and 140 K. The analysis of both static and dynamic magnetic susceptibility data indicates that the spin-glass-like state is observed in our samples. The addition of Cr to the alloy seems to shift the spin-glass-like transition from 130 K for x = 0.004 to 140 K for x = 0.012.
We have investigated the electronic structure of the dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) $Ga_{0.98}Mn_{0.02}P$ and compared it to that of an undoped $GaP$ reference sample, using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HXPS) and hard X-ray angle-resol
ved photoemission spectroscopy (HARPES) at energies of about 3 keV. We present experimental data, as well as theoretical calculations, in order to understand the role of the Mn dopant in the emergence of ferromagnetism in this material. Both core-level spectra and angle-resolved or angle-integrated valence spectra are discussed. In particular, the HARPES experimental data are compared to free-electron final-state model calculations and to more accurate one-step photoemission theory. The experimental results show differences between $Ga_{0.98}Mn_{0.02}P$ and $GaP$ in both angle-resolved and angle-integrated valence spectra. The $Ga_{0.98}Mn_{0.02}P$ bands are broadened due to the presence of Mn impurities that disturb the long-range translational order of the host $GaP$ crystal. Mn-induced changes of the electronic structure are observed over the entire valence band range, including the presence of a distinct impurity band close to the valence-band maximum of the DMS. These experimental results are in good agreement with the one-step photoemission calculations, and a prior HARPES study of $Ga_{0.97}Mn_{0.03}As$ and $GaAs$ (Gray et al. Nature Materials 11, 957 (2012)), demonstrating the strong similarity between these two materials. The Mn 2p and 3s core-level spectra also reveal an essentially identical state in doping both $GaAs$ and $GaP$.
We compare experimental resistivity data on Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs films with theoretical calculations using a scaling theory for strongly disordered ferromagnets. All characteristic features of the temperature dependence of the resistivity can be quantitati
vely understood through this approach as originating from the close vicinity of the metal-insulator transition. In particular, we find that the magnetic field induced changes in resistance cannot be explained within a mean-field treatment of the magnetic state, and that accounting for thermal fluctuations is crucial for a quantitative analysis. Similarly, while the non-interacting scaling theory is in reasonable agreement with the data, we find clear evidence in favor of interaction effects at low temperatures.
