Abstract
This paper reviews the most recent progress in the studies of photocarrier-induced magnetism, phototunable magnetization reversal, as well as photoenhanced magnetization in the magnetic alloy semiconductor heterostructure (In,Mn)As/(Ga,Al)Sb and the GaAs–Fe granular structure. Emphases are given to point out that the interplay between the nonmagnetic constituents and magnetic constitutes can be mediated by carrier spins.
