Abstract

The exchange coupling of Fe centers in GaAs crystals is studied by electron spin resonance (ESR). Transitions to a superparamagnetic state and to an impurity ferromagnetism domain are analyzed. A study of a system of single-domain magnetically ordered regions in GaAs:Fe with the transition to a ferromagnetic state occurring at the temperature T C1 = 460 K is described. It is shown that impurity ferromagnetism with a transition temperature T C2 of 60 K in a disordered system of Fe centers randomly distributed among superparamagnetic regions exists in GaAs:Fe.
