Abstract
By studying the Hall effect in a series of low resistivity Ga1-xMnxAs samples, accurate values for the hole density p, Mn concentration x, and Curie temperature Tc are obtained over the range 0.015=<x=<0.08. The hole density corresponds to 90% of the Mn concentration at low x, and has a maximum value of 8.5x10-26 m-3 when Tc=112K. This data allows the first meaningful comparison of mean field predicted Curie temperatures with experiment over a wide range of x. The theory is in qualitative agreement with experiment, but overestimates Tc at large x and underestimates TC at low x.
