EN

In the case of II-VI diluted magnetic compounds it was shown that the kinetic exchange mechanism depends crucially on the electronic configuration of the magnetic ions and the charge transfer energies for the transitions from the band onto the magnetic ion and vice versa. In the present paper we analyze these effects in the family of III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors, showing that they affect considerably the predictions of the values of the Curie temperature and should be taken into account in the search for room temperature ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors.
