Electronic structure of ordered ferro- and antiferromagnetic phases of Cd1−x Mn x Te semimagnetic semiconductor

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Self-consistent, spin-polarized SDF band structure calculations for the ordered ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of Cd0.5Mn0.5Te and MnTe are reported. The electronic structure, the spin-ordering-dependent hybridization mechanism and the nature of optical excitations are discussed. Also, striking differences between cubic and hexagonal phases of MnTe are discussed and explained.
