Curie temperatures of the concentrated and diluted Kondo-lattice model as a possible candidate to describe magnetic semiconductors and metals

We present a theory to model carrier mediated ferromagnetism in concentrated or diluted local moment systems. The electronic subsystem of the Kondo lattice model (KLM) is described by a combined equation of motion (EOM)/coherent potential approximation (CPA) method. Doing this we can calculate the f...

Zusammenfassung:We present a theory to model carrier mediated ferromagnetism in concentrated or diluted local moment systems. The electronic subsystem of the Kondo lattice model (KLM) is described by a combined equation of motion (EOM)/coherent potential approximation (CPA) method. Doing this we can calculate the free energy of the system and its minimum according to the magnetization of the local moments. Thus, also the Curie temperature can be determined and its dependence on important model parameters. We get qualitative agreement with the Curie temperatures' experimental values of Ga1–xMnxAs for a proper hole density.
