Among Aii 1− xMnxB VI diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), Cd1− xMnxS is distinguishable from other DMSs because its (apparent) p–d exchange integral| N0β| value is considerably larger than those of other DMSs. 1) It is the large p–d exchange interaction that causes various abnormal phenomena experimentally observed in Cd1− xMnxS. In my previous studies, by applying the coherent potential approximation (CPA) 2) to a simple model for a carrier in DMSs, we calculated the bandedge energy to explain the band-gap bowing 3) and the apparent enhancement of the p–d exchange interaction in the case of x→ 0. 4) In this work, by extending the previous method, we intend to explain asymmetric splitting of Zeeman energy components in Cd1− xMnxS observed by Gubarev and Tyazhlov; 5) when a magnetic field is applied, the pattern of spin splitting of the A exciton term is asymmetric relative to a position without a magnetic field.In our model, 3, 4) Cd1− xMnxS is regarded as a semiconducting alloy in which a mole fraction x of Cd ions (symbol: A) in CdS are replaced at random by Mn ions (symbol: M). A single carrier (hereafter referred to as a hole) moving in Cd1− xMnxS is subjected to the local potential EA or EM-Iσ· Sn depending on whether it is on Cd site or an Mn site. Here, EA and EM denote the chemical (or spin independent) potential for the Cd ion and Mn ion, respectively;-Iσ· Sn represents the p–d exchange interaction between the hole and the d spin operator Sn of Mn located on n site. The CPA is a superior mean-field theory that is applicable to describe the electronic properties of binary substitutional alloys within the single-site approximation. 2) In the CPA, the disordered potential is considered in terms of the effective medium Σ, called the coherent potential or self-energy; Σ≡ Σ (ω) is an energy (ω)-dependent complex potential which is decided such that the effective scattering of a carrier at a chosen site embedded in the effective medium is zero, on average. The condition is given by 2–4)
