Short description:	The course deals with unusual optical and magnetic properties of DMS (Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors), both in their bulk form and in quantum structures. Name in Polish - Półprzewodniki półmagnetyczne
Full description:	The course (2 hours a week) deals with unusual optical and magnetic properties of DMS (Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors), both in their bulk form and in quantum structures. These properties result from ion-carrier and ion-ion interactions, characteristic for this class of semiconductors. Diluted magnetic semiconductors are of fundamental importance for the emerging field of spintronics. Program: 1. Introduction on magnetism 2. Idea and beginnings, 3. Carrier-ion sp-d interaction and giant magnetooptic effects in bulk crystals 4. Ion-ion d-d interaction and its experimental determination 5. Mean field approximation for quantum structures, interface profiles (spin tracing) , role of magnetic fluctuations 6. Influence of carriers on magnetic ions 7. III-V semimagnetic semconductors 8. Semimagnetic Quantum Dots 9. DMS in microcavities Description by Jan Gaj, April 2007. Ammended Andrzej Golnik 2023. The course is presented every two years. Next course starts in the Spring 2012.
