Critical behavior of GaMnAs diluted magnetic semiconductors near the Curie temperature

aMnAs have been studied intensely over the last few decades and have become a model system for diluted ferromagnetic
semiconductors. At present, it is accepted that the Curie temperature of GaMnAs with metallic type of the conductivity
coincides well with the maximum of the temperature derivative of the resistivity dρ/dT, similar to the ferromagnetic metals
like Ni and Fe, whereas, for samples with low concentration of free carriers, the T
C
coincides with the resistivity maximum. The
critical behavior of GaMnAs near the Curie temperature was experimentally studied by using the temperature dependencies of
the resistivity, the specific heat, and the magnetization of GaMnAs. It is shown that the determination of T
C
from the maximum
of the temperature derivative of the resistivity is valid only for the samples with a high concentration of free carriers. For the
samples with low concentration of free carriers, the T
C
coincides with the resistivity maximum. The magnetic specific heat for
T > T
C
demonstrates the crossover from the one dimensional to the three dimensional critical behavior when temperature
become closer to the Curie temperature. This is explained by the existence of Mn-Mn dimers oriented along one direction at
the beginning of the formation of the ferromagnetic phase on the paramagnetic side of the phase transition.

resistivity behavior near the maximum and the magnetic specific heat, respectively.
