Dilute magnetic semiconductors are prototype materials
with structural, magnetic, transport, and optical properties determined
by combined effects of disorder, electron correlations, and hybridization.
Our theoretical study, based on density-functional theory, aims at facilitating
magnetic behavior of DMS by optimizing the electronic structure
and by controlling native defects and intentional co-doping.
Starting from (Ga,Mn)As, we are interested in non-traditional DMS based, e.g., on
mixed III-V semiconductors and I-II-V compounds.
