We investigate the charge and spin response functions of a bilayer quasi-two-dimensional system, spin polarized by a constant magnetic field BW . Terms beyond the random-phase approximation, the exchange and correlation interactions, are introduced by using generalized spin-dependent local field factors, Gs x (qW ,v). The self-consistent magnetic interaction among the electron spins determines ...

The body of research on (III,Mn)V diluted magnetic semiconductors initiated during the 1990’s has concentrated on three major fronts: i) the microscopic origins and fundamental physics of the ferromagnetism that occurs in these systems, ii) the materials science of growth and defects and iii) the development of spintronic devices with new functionalities. This article reviews the current status...

We study the crossover behaviors that can be observed in the high-temperature phase of three-dimensional dilute spin systems, using a field-theoretical approach. In particular, for randomly dilute Ising systems we consider the Gaussian-to-random and the pure-Ising-to-random crossover, determining the corresponding crossover functions for the magnetic susceptibility and the correlation length. M...

Theory of magnetoresistance in films of dilute magnetic alloys. Abstract Giordano measured the magnetoresistance of dilute magnetic alloys Au(Fe) films of different thickness. He explained the difference in the magnetic field saturation for different thickness by the magnetic surface anisotropy for the impurities has been suggested and evaluated earlier, which is due to spin-orbit scattering in...
