A ten-year perspective on dilute magnetic semiconductors and oxides

Open access
Dietl, Tomasz·2010·Nature Materials

Abstract

Over the past ten years, the search for compounds combining the properties of semiconductors and ferromagnets has evolved into an important field of materials science. This endeavour has been fuelled by many demonstrations of remarkable low-temperature functionalities in the ferromagnetic structures (Ga,Mn)As and p-(Cd,Mn)Te, and related compounds, and by the theoretical prediction that magnetically doped, p-type nitride and oxide semiconductors might support ferromagnetism mediated by valence-band holes to above room temperature. Indeed, ferromagnetic signatures persisting at high temperatures have been detected in a number of non-metallic systems, even under conditions in which the presence of spin ordering was not originally anticipated. Here I review recent experimental and theoretical developments, emphasizing that they not only disentangle many controversies and puzzles accumulated over the past decade but also offer new research prospects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
