Observations of magnetism in semiconductors doped with nonmagnetic atoms (C, N, etc.) show promise for spintronics applications, but pose an interesting challenge for conventional theories of magnetism. In this work, the magnetic semiconductor carbon-doped In2O3 is studied using theoretical and expe...
