Abstract
In III-V dilute magnetic semiconductors such as ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{x}\mathrm{As}$, the impurity positions tend to be correlated, which can drastically affect the electronic transport properties of these materials. Within the memory function formalism we have derived a general expression for the current relaxation kernel in spin and charge disordered media and have calculated spin and charge scattering rates in the weak-disorder limit. Using a simple model for impurity clustering, we find a significant enhancement of the charge scattering. The enhancement is sensitive to cluster parameters and may be controllable through postgrowth annealing.
