摘要
This review covers the experimental and theoretical results on III-V-based ferromagnetic semiconductors ((In,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)As) accumulated to date. It was found in 1989 that low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy allows one to dope InAs. and later GaAs, with magnetic element Mn over its solubility limit, making it possible to realize an alloy of III-Vs and magnetic elements. Ferromagnetism in such alloys was discovered in (In,Mn)As and later in (Ga,Mn)As. Since ferromagnetic III-Vs can readily be incorporated in the existing semiconductor heterostructure systems, where a number of optical and electronic devices have been realized, they allow us to explore physics and application of previously not available combinations of quantum structures and magnetism in semiconductors.
