abstract = {Exchange-constants have been evaluated from
first-principles in Mn-doped Ge, mainly focusing on the
effects of the impurity concentration and of the arrangement
of Mn-atoms in the semiconducting matrix. As expected, the
Mn-concentration strongly affects the magnitude of the
exchange constants (especially between Mn as
first-nearest-neighbors (NNs) in the cation position).
Interestingly, the arrangement of Mn atoms is found to be
relevant for the behavior of the second-NN exchange-constant
along the [110]-bonding direction, which shows either a
strongly ferromagnetic or a marked antiferromagnetic
behavior, depending on whether the interaction is mediated
by a Ge or by an Mn atom, respectively. This suggests that,
at least for rather high values of the doping concentration
(similar to $10\%),$ a detailed knowledge of the Mn
positions in the host is required for a careful prediction
of the exchange constants and, therefore, of the ordering
Curie temperature in Mn-doped Ge. The analysis of the
impurity-and host-induced effects on the exchange constants
is carried out by comparing (i) Mn- and Cr-doped Ge and (ii)
Mn-doped Ge and GaAs. Our findings regarding the global weak
antiferromagnetism for CrGe confirm that ferromagnetism in
diluted magnetic semiconductors requires the presence of
holes, whereas Ge and GaAs appear rather similar as for the
exchange constants, both showing strong environmental
effects.},
