The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

A review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density-functional theory is
presented. This method is currently used for electronic structure calculations of strongly …

Dilute ferromagnetic oxides having Curie temperatures far in excess of 300 K and
exceptionally large ordered moments per transition-metal cation challenge our …

The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology
of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the …

The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, which has been realized in magnetic topological
insulators (TIs), is the key to applications of dissipationless quantum Hall edge states in …

The body of research on (III, Mn) V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) initiated during
the 1990s has concentrated on three major fronts:(i) the microscopic origins and …

We review the recent developments in the electric field control of magnetism in multiferroic
heterostructures, which consist of heterogeneous materials systems where a …

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a quantized Hall effect that occurs at zero
magnetic field. Its mechanism and properties are different from those of conventional …

The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …
