Abstract
Several multiband models for Colossal Manetoresistance Materials and Diluted Magnetic

Semiconductors are investigated within Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. The theoretical analysis of such models uses extensively the parametrization method for the bare Green’s function to study the critical transition temperatures in a wide range of model’s parameters; hoping amplitudes, couplings, and carrier concentrations. For both classes of materials, it is found within a two-band model that the transition temperature can be twice larger than the one predicted by the one band models and that its maximum is reached at a twice larger carrier concentration. It is also revealed that the off-diagonal hoppings, when considered, lead to a substantial boost of the ferromagnetic transition temperature. By accounting for the attractive Coulomb potential by acceptors in diluted magnetic semiconductors, the impurity to valence band crossover is studied as a function of doping and the critical values of doping, at which the crossover occurs, are estimated for various diluted magnetic semiconductors.
