الوصف: Specific heat measurements were used to study the magnetic phase transition in Ga1-xMnxAs. Two different types of Ga1-xMnxAs samples have been investigated. The sample with a Mn concentration of 1.6% shows insulating behavior, and the sample with a Mn concentration of 2.6% is metallic. The temperature dependence of the specific heat for both samples reveals a pronounced lambda-shaped peak near the Curie temperature, which indicates a second-order phase transition in these samples. The critical behavior of the specific heat for Ga1-xMnxAs samples is consistent with the mean-field behavior with Gaussian fluctuations of the magnetization in the close vicinity of TC.
