@conference {Simserides2005143, title = {Spin polarization and magnetization of conduction-band dilute-magnetic- semiconductor quantum wells with non-step-like density of states}, booktitle = {Journal of Physics: Conference Series}, volume = {10}, number = {1}, year = {2005}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {143-146}, abstract = {We study the magnetization, M, and the spin polarization, ζ, of n-doped non-magnetic-semiconductor (NMS)/narrow to wide dilute-magnetic-semiconductor (DMS)/n-doped NMS quantum wells, as a function of the temperature, T, and the in-plane magnetic field, B. Under such conditions the density of states (DOS) deviates from the occasionally stereotypic step-like form, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The DOS modification causes an impressive fluctuation of M in cases of vigorous competition between spatial and magnetic confinement. At low T, the enhanced electron spin-splitting, Uoσ, acquires its bigger value. At higher T, Uoσ decreases, augmenting the influence of the spin-up electrons. Increasing B, Uoσ increases and accordingly electrons populate spin-down subbands while they abandon spin-up subbands. Furthermore, due to the DOS modification, all energetically higher subbands become gradually depopulated.}, doi = {10.1088/1742-6596/10/1/035}, url = {https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/10/1/035}, author = {Simserides, C.} }
