It is shown that for a set of experimentally determined input parameters there are no itinerant carriers and the coupling between localized Mn3+ spins in GaN proceeds via superexchange that is ferromagnetic for all explored Rij values. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations serve to evaluate the magnitudes of Curie temperature TC by the cumulant crossing method. The theoretical values of TC(x) are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data that are available for Ga1-xMnxN with randomly distributed Mn3+ ions with the concentrations 0.01 <= x <= 0.1.}, doi = {10.1051/epjconf/20147501003}, url = {https://www.epj-conferences.org/articles/epjconf/abs/2014/12/epjconf_jems2014_01003/epjconf_jems2014_01003.html}, author = {Simserides, C. and Majewski, J.A. and Trohidou, K.N. and Dietl, T.} }
