Abstract
We propose a method to realize diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) with - and -type carriers by choosing host semiconductors with a narrow band gap. By employing a combination of the density function theory and quantum Monte Carlo simulation, we demonstrate such semiconductors using Mn-doped , which has a band gap of 0.2 eV. In addition, we found a nontoxic DMS Mn-doped , of which the Curie temperature is predicted to be higher than that of Mn-doped , the of which was up to 230 K in a recent experiment.
