  1. Enhanced electron spin-splitting, Uoσ Density of States (DOS) ● the DOS deviates from the famous step-like (B→0) form. spin-spin exchange interaction between s- or p- conduction band electrons and d- electrons of Μn+2 cations proportional to the cyclotron gap Not only the general shape of the DOS varies , but this effect is also quantitative. • for anytype ofinterplaybetween spatial and magnetic confinement Low temperatures. spin-splitting maximum, ~ 1/3 of conduction band offset Higher temperatures. spin-splitting decreases enhanced contribution of spin-up electrons Feedback mechanism due tondown(r) - nup(r). e.g. n-doped DMS ZnSe / Zn1-x-yCdxMnySe / ZnSe QWs in-plane magnetic field Magnetization L = 10 nm (spatial confinement dominates) Dispersion, Density of States, Free Energy Magnetic Phases, Spin Polarization • Density of States diverges significantly from • ideal step-like 2DEGform •  severe changes to physical properties: • spin-subband populations • internal energy, U • free energy, F • Shannon entropy, S • magnetization, M A single behavior ofInternal EnergyFree EnergyEntropy ~ parabolic spin subbandsincrease Bmore flat dispersion few % DOS increase Spin polarization tuned by varying temperature and magnetic field.

The parallel magnetic field is used as a tool, in order to achieve non-step-like density of states in these -appropriate for conduction-band spintronics- structures. conduction band, narrow to wide, DMS QWs RESULTS AND DISCUSSION considerable fluctuation of M (if vigorous competition between spatial and magnetic confinement) L = 10 nm : almost parabolic dispersion L = 30 nm : strong competition between spatial and magnetic confinement L = 60 nm : ~ spin-down bilayer system Bibliography [1] H.
