VB-CB VB-IB Jungwirth et al. arXiv:0707.0665, PRB ’07 in press Mn-acceptor level (IB) Short-range ~ M. s potential - additional Mn-hole binding - ferromagnetism - scattering GaAs:Mn extrinsic semiconductor GaAs VB GaMnAs disordered VB

MIT in p-type GaAs: - shallow acc. (30meV) ~ 10 18 cm -3 - Mn (110meV) ~10 20 cm -3 Mobilities: - 3-10x larger in GaAs:C - similar in GaAs:Mg or InAs:Mn > 2% Mn: metallic but strongly disordered Model: SO-coupled, exch.-split Bloch VB & disorder - meaningful but difficult for strong disorder - no better than semi-quantitative Mn spacing

Anisotropic magnetoresistance Rushforth et al. arXiv:cond-mat/0702357, PRL ’07 in press THEORY EXPERIMENT

CBAMR if change of | (M)| ~ e 2 /2C CBAMR if change of | (M)| ~ e 2 /2C In our (Ga,Mn)As ~ meV (~ 10 Kelvin)In our (Ga,Mn)As ~ meV (~ 10 Kelvin) In room-T ferromagnet change of | (M)|~100KIn room-T ferromagnet change of | (M)|~100K Room-T conventional SET (e 2 /2C >300K) possible Worth trying to look for CBAMR in SO-coupled room-T c metal FMs
