Sudden restoration of the band ordering associated with the ferromagnetic phase transition in a semiconductor

As semiconductors are doped with impurities, their useful electrical transport properties are degraded as their band structures are increasingly modified. Here, the authors demonstrate that the band ordering is restored in Mn-doped GaAs above a ferromagnetic transition at a critical concentration.
