摘要
Starting from a many-body Hamiltonian for a system of photogenerated electrons and holes, spin-split by magnetic ions in diluted magnetic semiconductors, we derive, presumably for the first time, an expression for the photomagnetization as a function of the photon power, frequency, excitonic interaction and the magnetic ion concentration. Damping of nonequilibrium carriers and spin excitons is considered phenomenologically. Our results agree qualitatively with some of the systematics of the photomagnetization observed in Hg1-xMnxTe.
