18. The combined effect of disorder and spin-orbit interactions implies that the classical ground state of a (III, Mn)V ferromagnet cannot have perfectly parallel Mn spin orientations. Disorder can also lead to frustration in the carrier-mediated Mn spin interactions, and to complex ground states in which spins are not aligned. Both effects become less important for more strongly metallic (III, Mn)V ferromagnets. See Refs. 19, and 20,.

26. There is a broad consensus that variation in the density of Mn interstitials is responsible for most of the variation of carrier density and magnetically active Mn density that occurs when these materials are annealed. See for example Ref. 24,.
