Manipulation with Spin Ordering in Ferromagnetic Semiconductors

Abstract

A short overview is given of recent advances in the field of carrier-controlled ferromagnetism in Mn-based III-V and II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors and their nanostructures. The tailoring of domain structures and magnetic anisotropy by strain engineering and confinement is described. Experiments demonstrating the tunability of TC by light and electric field are presented.
