Dependence of indices of refraction on Mn composition of Zn1−xMnxSe thin films using prism coupler technique

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are formed by randomly replacing a fraction of the cations in compound semiconductor alloys with magnetic ions. They have the sp-d interaction between the magnetic ions and band electrons [1], which leads to many interesting physical effects, such as extremely large Faraday rotation [2], giant negative magnetoresistance [3], and the magnetic polaron [4, 5]. The Zn
