Abstract
A prominent improvement of Curie temperature under low electric fields through Mn δ -doped GaAsp-AlGaAs wide quantum wells is presented theoretically. The electric-field-controlled Curie temperature for different δ -doping positions and well widths has been investigated by means of the numerical self-consistent calculation. For quantum wells with 40 nm well width, an applied electric field of 0.3 meVnm enhances TC up to five times than ones without the applied field. Our results indicate that wide quantum wells (>20 nm) have more advantage than narrow quantum wells in the electric-field- controlled low dimensional ferromagnetic systems.
