Abstract
The magnetic correlation between magnetic impurities in semiconductors is investigated by performing the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation. The Anderson Hamiltonian with the realistic parameters obtained by the local density approximation (LDA) calculation is employed. The LDA calculation gives a dispersion of the host (GaAs) electron and the mixing energy between host and magnetic impurity (Mn). The mixing between host and impurity electrons generates the impurity bound state in the energy gap of semiconductors. The long range ferromagnetic coupling is observed when the Fermi energy locates between the band edge and the impurity bound state. The ferromagnetic coupling is enhanced by decreasing temperature.
