Description
Magnetic properties of the planar structure consisting of a ferromagnetic metal and the diluted magnetic semiconductor are considered (by the example of the structure Fe/Ga(Mn)As, experimentally studied in [F. Maccherozzi, M. Sperl, G. Panaccione, J. Mina'r, S. Polesya, H. Ebert, U. Wurstbauer, M. Hochstrasser, G. Rossi, G. Woltersdorf, W. Wegscheider, C.H. Back, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 (2008) 267201]). In the framework of the mean field theory, we demonstrate the presence of the significant amplification of the ferromagnetism, induced by the ferromagnetic metal in the near-interface semiconductor area, due to the indirect interaction of magnetic impurities. This results in the substantial expansion of the temperature range where the magnetization in the boundary semiconductor region exists, that might be important for possible practical applications.
