Donostia International Physics Centre (DIPC), POB 1072, 20018 San Sebastian, Spain(Dated: February 2, 2008)The magnetization and hole distribution of Mn clusters in (Ga,Mn)As are investigated by all-electron total energy calculations using the projector augmented wave method within the density-functional formalism. It is found that the energetically most favorable clusters consist of Mn atomssurrounding one center As atom. As the Mn cluster grows the hole band at the Fermi level splitsincreasingly and the hole distribution gets increasingly localized at the center As atom. The holedistribution at large distances from the cluster does not depend significantly on the cluster size.As a consequence, the spin-flip energy differences of distant clusters are essentially independent ofthe cluster size. The Curie temperature T
