摘要: We have developed an improved model for describing the electrical transport properties of diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors such as Mn-doped GaAs. The takes into account mechanisms in disordered vicinity metal–insulator transition and critical scattering due to exchange interaction between charge carrier spins localized magnetic moments. is based on Kubo–Greenwood formalism scaling theory localization. contribution from calculated using Green's function technique self-consistent Born approximation. explains well measured resistivity GaAs a temperature, doping concentration, field.
