Magnetic Ions in Group III–V Semiconductors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 190))

Abstract

The hope that the exploitation of the electron spin in the conventional semiconductor technology will improve electronic devices stimulates the interest in physics of magnetic ions immersed in semiconducting matrix. Short introduction will be given to present the concept of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) and the overview of the recent achievements in theory as well as in growing and characterization of III–V DMS with the highest Curie temperature. The particular attention was given to underline the unique information provided by XAS and X ray magnetic circular dichroism.
