Theory of domain structure in ferromagnetic phase of diluted magnetic semiconductors near the phase transition temperature
V. A. Stephanovich
Abstract
We discuss the influence of disorder on domain structure formation in ferromagnetic phase of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) of p-type. Using analytical arguments we show the existence of critical ratio ν cr of concentration of charge carriers and magnetic ions such that sample critical thickness Lcr (such that at L<Lcr a sample is monodomain) diverges as ν ν cr. At ν> ν cr the sample is monodomain. This feature makes DMS different from conventional ordered magnets as it gives a possibility to control the sample critical thickness and emerging domain structure period by variation of ν. As concentration of magnetic impurities grows, ν cr ∞ restoring conventional behavior of ordered magnets. Above facts have been revealed by examination of the temperature of transition to inhomogeneous magnetic state (stripe domain structure) in a slab of finite thickness L of p-type DMS. Our analysis is carried out on the base of homogeneous exchange part of magnetic free energy of DMS calculated by us earlier [, 67, 195203 (2003)].
