Both quantities depend non trivially on the concentration of magnetic impurities, the carrier density, and the presence of compensating defects. We calculate both Curie temperature and conductivity of (Ga,Mn)As alloys in a selfconsistent manner based on the same first principles Hamiltonian in which the presence of compensating defects is taken into account. The effect of As-antisites and Mn-interstitials is determined separately and a good agreement between theory and experiment exists only in the case where the dominating mechanism of is due to the Mn-interstitials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-29T09:47:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.30.Kz", "72.20.-i", "75.50.Pp", "75.30.Hx", "61.72.Ji" ], "keywords": [ "curie temperature", "case study", "conductivity", "compensating defects", "first principles hamiltonian" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2007, "month": "Sep", "volume": 91, "number": 10, "pages": 102509 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007ApPhL..91j2509K" } } }
