摘要
The ferromagnetic transition in a diluted magnetic semiconductor with localized charge carriers is inevitably a percolation transition. In this work we theoretically study the correlation between this magnetic percolation and transport properties of the sample, including the possibility of a simultaneous transport percolation. We find nontrivial signatures of the percolating magnetic clusters in the transport properties of the system, including interesting nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the system resistivity.
