Introduction to the Physics of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Jacek Kossut and Jan Gaj belong to the group of researchers whose early work has put diluted magnetic semiconductors on the map. All contributing authors are prominent scientists who gave continue to give extensive input to each subfield they deal with.
