The giant Zeeman effect of electrons and holes in the DMS was estimated within the mean-field approximation, by using the known values of the exchange integrals of p-d and s-d interaction (N0β=-1.31eV and N0α=0.26eV, respectively) and the deduced fitting parameters (an effective Mn concentration xeff=0.0348 and a Curie-Weiss parameter Θ=5K).
