1202.3295 (M. Birowska et al.)

Origin of bulk uniaxial anisotropy in zinc-blende dilute magnetic
semiconductors
   [PDF]

M. Birowska, C. Sliwa, J. A. Majewski, T. Dietl
It is demonstrated that the nearest neighbor Mn pair on the GaAs (001)
surface has a lower energy for the [-110] direction comparing to the [110]
case. According to the group theory and the Luttinger's method of invariants,
this specific Mn distribution results in bulk uniaxial in-plane and
out-of-plane anisotropies. The sign and magnitude of the corresponding
anisotropy energies determined by a perturbation method and ab initio
computations are consistent with experimental results.
