Our approach is based on introduction of fluctuating molecular field (rather than mean field) acting between the spins. The distribution function of the above field is derived self-consistently. In general case this function is not Gaussian, latter asymptotics occurs only at sufficiently large spins (magnetic ions) concentrations $n_i$. Our approach permits to derive the equation for a critical temperature $T_c$ of ferromagnetic phase transition with respect to the above fluctuations. We apply our theory to the analysis of influence of composition fluctuations on $T_c$ in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) with RKKY indirect spin-spin interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-06-20T16:40:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "diluted magnetic semiconductors", "carrier induced ferromagnetism", "spin fluctuations", "composition", "rkky indirect spin-spin interaction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
