Ferromagnetic semiconductor heterostructures

Abstract Ferromagnetic III–V semiconductors made it possible to integrate ferromagnetism with semiconductor heterostructures, allowing access to sturctures that exhibit magnetic/spin-related phenomena not previously accessible. This paper reviews the novel phenomena realized in such heterostructures the electric-field control of ferromagnetism, and a mean-field model developed to describe the ferromagnetism observed in magnetic III–V semiconductors.
