Semimagnetic Semiconductors and Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors : International Proceedings (Ettore Majorana International Science Series / Physical Sciences)

An overview of semimagnetic and diluted magnetic semiconductors, which are interesting because they confer many new physical properties on both bulk materials and on heterostructures, apparently by exchange interactions between magnetic moments and either magnetic ions or the spin of the charge carrier. The 11 lectures, for both graduate and undergraduate students, include treatments of the relevant thermodynamics, band structure, transport, superlattices, and other topics.
