Abstract

We investigate temperature dependence of spin-resolved subband structure and spontaneous magnetization for different doping profiles of magnetic impurities in diluted (Ga,Mn)As quantum well structures. The self-consistent hole subband energies and wave functions are determined by solving combined Schr\"odinger and Poisson equations numerically. We included the coupling effects among heavy-hole, light-hole, and split-off bands (six-band model) in our calculation and compared the result with the case of two-band model. We show that selective doping of magnetic ions in GaAs quantum well enhances the Curie temperature ${T}_{c}$ significantly, but holes occupying light-hole subbands result to reduce spontaneous magnetization and hence the Curie temperature of the system. This reduction effect reveals more clearly near the $T\ensuremath{\sim}{T}_{c}$ hindering an increase in the Curie temperature in a selectively Mn-doped system.
