Dilute Magnetic Semiconducting (DMS) Materials

This book presents an analysis of the charge density distribution and other properties of some silicon and germanium based diluted magnetic semiconductors.  A quantitative analysis of the charge density distribution has been done in order to obtain measurements of the charges involved in the bonding, which are decisive for the physical and chemical properties of the DMS materials.  Also, the local structures of the materials have been analyzed by studying their powder X-ray diffraction intensities.  Analysis of the magnetic properties of the DMS materials is mandatory and has been accomplished by magnetic measurements carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer.  The morphology of the DMS materials has been studied using scanning electron micrographs.
