Coherently photo-induced ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors
Ferromagnetism is predicted in undoped diluted magnetic semiconductors
illuminated by intense sub-bandgap laser radiation . The mechanism for
photo-induced ferromagnetism is coherence between conduction and valence bands
induced by the light which leads to an optical exchange interaction. The
ferromagnetic critical temperature T_C depends both on the properties of the
material and on the frequency and intensity of the laser and could be above 1
