Effect of Fluctuations of Magnetization on the Bound Magnetic Polaron: Comparison with Experiment

Abstract

Thermal properties of large magnetic polarons localized on donors in a magnetic semiconductor are studied theoretically with the effect of thermodynamic fluctuations of magnetization taken into account. The model quantitatively describes recent spin-flip Raman scattering data for ${\mathrm{Cd}}_{0.95}$ ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.05}$Se.
