Review on semiconductor spintroincs
• Classical device: use the electrical and particle properties of the electron.
• Quantum device: use the wave properties of electron.
• Spin-properties- non volatile memory, integration of memory and logic devices, spin-FET, quantum computing, etc.

t the coupling between the magnetic moments is small and the magnetic moment of the atoms are randomly oriented.

Some basic knowledge about the material properties of Ga1-xMnxAs
• The samples were grown at low temperature with MBE, the quality of the material is usually very poor
• Mn is an acceptor and in principle could donate a hole for electrical conduction.
• Mn in GaMnAs is a substitutional acceptor? (yes, Soo et al. APL 80, 2654 (2002)
• Metal-insulator transition and Anderson localization are essential ingredient of the problem
![Page 11: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic Properties of Ferromagnetic Semiconductors
• Magnetic property• Magneto-transport
property (Anomalous Hall Effect)
• RH=(R0/d) B+(RM/d) M

Carrier induced ferromagnetism?
• Dependence of TC on x Metal-insulator transitions
![Page 13: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Summary of optical studies
• InMnAs (Hirakawa et al.,, Physica E10, 215 (2001))
• The conductivity could be well fitted with Drude model, indicating the holes are delocalizd.
• Localization length of hole estimated to be 3-4 nm, close to the average inter-Mn distance.
• Add figure from their paper
![Page 14: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• GaMnAs:(Hirakawa et al. PRB 65, 193312, (2002))
• Non-Drude-like FIR response observed.
• Broad conductivity peak near 200meV observed.
• Estimated mean free path of 0.5nm implies that even for the metallic sample the hole wavefunction is localized. RKKY?
![Page 15: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• GaMnAs (Singley et al. PRL 89, 097203 (2002))
• A broad band centered at 200 meV is observed.
• From the sum rule analysis it was found that the charge carrier has a very heavy effective mass 0.7me< m*< 15me. for the x=.052 sample. It is suggested that the holes reside in the impurity band
![Page 16: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• GAMnAs (Yang et al., PRB 67, 04505 (2003))
• A non-perturbative self-consistent study which treat both disorder and interaction on equal footing.
• The broad peak centered at 220 meV is present even in a one band approximation.
• Non-Drude behavior could be accounted for if multiple scattering is taken in to consideration
• A new feature at around 7000 cm-1, originated from the transition from heavy hole to split off band is predicted.
![Page 17: Optical Properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814400550346895db095ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Meatal-insulator transitions in doped semiconductor
• Impurity level broaden into an impurity band.
• Impurity band merge with the valence band.
• Where are position of the Fermi level and the position of the mobility edge?

Summary and Conclusions:
• The FIR response of the sample appears to be flat• Non-Drude-like optical conductivity behavior is observed in the mid-I
R spectra• Clear Absorption peaks observed for sample with x<=3.3%• Metallic behavior obseved for samples with x>=4.8%• From the the transmission data, plasma frequency and carrier conce
ntration could be obtained. • Indication of band filling effect observed for some samples with EF a
bout 30 meV high than the valence band edge. • The carrier concentration obtained from plasma frequency are consi
stent with the carrier concentration obtained from the band filling effect.
