Nanostructures, magnetic semiconductors and spintronics

The aim of this paper is to give a brief overview of recent advances in the area of semiconductor nanomaterials, which represent extremely promising applications for materials with the spin-polarized transport of the charge carriers. It is shown on the basis of the last theoretical and experimental achievements that the development of diluted semiconductors with the controlled disorder and the wide energy gaps as well as the study of their molecular structures are very prospective routes for producing of novel magnetic semiconductors. r 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
