Figure 12

Schematic drawings for the size evolution of bounded magnetic polaron with carrier concentration. Red arrows and cyan dots represent magnetic impurities and donor defects, respectively; blue, red and green spheres represent the expanded, contracted and natural polaron sizes, respectively. The increase in carrier density reduces the polaron radius and consequently increases the BMP separation; thus, the magnetic coupling decreases (right). The opposite situation happens when the carrier density decreases (left).
