Theory of magnetism with temporal disorder applied to magnetically doped ZnO:
Insulating ZnO is magnetic when doped with transition metals but this magnetization decreases rapidly as the carriers become mobile1. The magnetic interaction is mediated by occupied polaron orbits because the electron orbits associated with defects are exchange coupled to several magnetic ions. In the variable hopping regime the conductivity varies is controlled by the parameter T0 that characterizes the probability of the carriers can hop between localized states. When a carrier moves out of a localised orbit the exchange interactions between the transition metal ions are changed suddenly. This time dependence of the exchange interactions destroys the ferromagnetism.
We simulate an Ising model with ferromagnetic bonds J and antiferromagnetic bonds - J with probability 1-q and q respectively. This is ferromagnetic for qqc. We change the arrangement

of the AF bonds after n Monte Carlo steps but keeping the same value of q. This random flipping of the exchange interactions differs from the Glauber model in which the Ising model is subjected to a random external field. The spin glass phase is characterised by long relaxation times however the relaxation become slow even in the ferromagnetic phase as q increases. The ferromagnetism is destabilised by the time dependent exchange even though the average exchange =J(1-2q) is still positive. The phase diagram is calculated as a function of q and n.

1.
A study is made of an anisotropic Potts model in three dimensions where the coupling depends on both the Potts state on each site but also the direction of the bond between them using both analytical and numerical methods. The phase diagram is mapped out for all values of the exchange interactions. Six distinct phases are identified. Monte Carlo simulations have been used to obtain the order parameter and the values for the energy and entropy in the ground state and also the transition temperatures. Our Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out on 3d finite cubic lattices (with linear size L = 8) with periodic boundary conditions. All our simulations have made use of the Metropolis algorithm with the spin being chosen at random, and with averaging performed over 10 5
Monte Carlo steps per site. In most of the phase diagram this gave clear results. Where convergence was slow we checked that we had found the true ground state by both increasing the number of Monte Carlo steps and also by looking at a L = 10 lattice as explained below. Results at low temperatures were obtained by cooling down from a hightemperature random configuration. Excellent agreement is found between the simulated and analytic results. We find one region where there are two phase transitions with the lines meeting in a triple point. The orbital ordering that occurs in LaMnO
3 occurs as one of the ordered phases.
2.
A modified Potts model based on the physics of the manganese-oxygen bonds and two different exchange interaction types, J
1 and J
2
, were proposed. The orbital ordering in
LaMnO
3 is obtained when J
1 is AF and J
2 is FM. Local short range order is obtained above
Jahn-Teller temperature, T
JT
, and it reduced the entropy from kBloge3 to s sro ∼ (0.50.02) and this value is well comparable to the experimental value obtained by Sanchez. When

J
1 is AF and J
2 is zero a line phase which represents orbital ordering disorder in LaMnO
3 above T
JT is obtained . This line phase has no transition and its entropy is higher than s sro
.

Sb in terms of studying the conduction behaviour, the thermoelectric power (S), the Hall coefficient (R
H
), the charge carrier mobility (µ), the charge carrier concentration (n) and the magneto-resistance coefficient (R
M
). On the other hand, the structural properties are characterised by means of the XRD analysis, DTA and scanning electron microscopy.It is propositioning that most of the transport properties are investigated in a wide range of temperature 173 ≤ T ≤ 400K, applied magnetic field 0.0607 ≤ B ≤ 0.765 Tesla and annealing was carried out isochronically in the range 50 ≤ T an
≤ 400 o C.

I have good knowledge of writing Fortran programs, simulating realistic systems using
Monte Carlo and statistical models such as Ising models and Potts models, fitting experimental data, solving some quantum problems.
I have a good knowledge of UNIX/LINUX, WINDOWS and MS-DOS operating systems. I have been programming using FORTRAN language. I use LaTeX as well as Word in writing my manuscripts.
