Abstract: | Ferromagnetism of magnetic impurity atoms located in the barrier regions of various heterostructures (solitary heterojunction, single quantum well, double quantum well, or superlattice) is considered theoretically. The indirect magnetic interaction of impurities occurs via charge carriers localized in quasi-two-dimensional conducting channels of these structures due to “penetration” of the wavefunction of charge carriers into the barrier regions. The wavefunctions defined analytically in the triangular potential model are virtually the same as in “exact” numerical calculations (joint solution of the Poisson and Schrödinger equations). The corresponding Curie temperatures are determined, which may attain approximately 500 K in Ga1 ? x Mn x As-based structures according to calculations. |
