Abstract
We present the systematic study of the resonant tunneling spectroscopy on a series of ferromagnetic-semiconductor Ga1−xMnxAs with the Mn content x from ∼0.01 to 3.2%. The Fermi level of Ga1−xMnxAs exists in the band gap in the whole x region. The Fermi level is closest to the valence band (VB) at x = 1.0% corresponding to the onset of ferromagnetism near the metal-insulator transition (MIT), but it moves away from the VB as x increases or decreases from 1.0%. This anomalous behavior of the Fermi level indicates that the ferromagnetism and MIT emerge in the Mn-derived impurity band.
