Observation of Mn2+ Triplet Clusters and Non-Nearest-Neighbor Exchange Effect in (Cd,Mn)Te
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Extract
Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS), such as Cd1−xMnxTe, are excellent hosts for the study of disordered magnetic systems. In these diluted random alloys, neighboring magnetic ions form clusters through short range spin exchange interactions. A number of experiments [1-8] have been devoted to the investigation of the nearest-neighbor (NN) coupled magnetic ion pairs, by measuring the quantized total spin in a field. In (Cd,Mn)Te, the obtained NN exchange constant J1 is -6.1K[7,8]. However, to understand full range of magnetic and optical phenomena in DMS, it is important to explore the behavior of clusters larger than pairs and interactions beyond NN.
