Abstract

We focus here on striking differences between the physics of diluted magnetic semiconductors described in the preceding Chapter and those whose constituent semiconductor matrix is a wide gap material, as exemplified primarily by ZnO and GaN. We demonstrate the importance of two effects, usually negligible in moderate and narrow gap semiconductors: electron–hole exchange in excitons and small spin–orbit splitting of the valence band, both producing deviations from proportionality of giant Zeeman splitting to magnetization. We also show that the sp − d exchange constants, expected to be large, do not result in very large exciton spin splitting. Therefore, a notion of apparent exchange constants is introduced and discussed.
