Abstract In normal metals the magnetic moment of impurity-spins disappears below a characteristic Kondo temperature which marks formation cloud conduction-band electrons that screen local-moment. contrast, moments embedded in insulators remain unscreened at all temperatures. What then is fate magnetic-moments intermediate, pseudogap systems, such as graphene? Theory predicts coupling to will drive quantum phase transition between local-moment and Kondo-screened phase. However, attempts...

Although InP and GaAs have very similar band structure their magnetic properties appear to drastically differ. Critical temperatures in (In,Mn)P are much smaller than those of (Ga,Mn)As scale linearly with Mn concentration. This is contrast the square-root behavior found (Ga,Mn)As. Moreover magnetization curve exhibits an unconventional shape contrasting conventional one well-annealed By combining several theoretical approaches, nature ferromagnetism Mn-doped investigated.
