Abstract
Based on a modified mean-field model, we calculate the Curie temperatures of - and -doped diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) and their dependence on the hole concentration. We find that the Curie temperatures increase with an increase in hole concentration and the relationship also approximately holds for - and -doped systems with moderate hole concentration. For either low or high hole concentrations, however, the law is violated due to the anomalous magnetization of the and ions, and the nonparabolic nature of the hole bands. Further, the values of for - and -doped DMSs are significantly higher than those for -doped DMSs, due to the larger exchange interaction strength.
