Tuning magnetic order in magnetic semiconductors is a long-sought goal. Here, we propose that a proper mix of acceptors with magnetic dopants may quench local magnetic order in favor of the long-range one. Using Mn and acceptor codoped LiZnAs as an example, we show, by first-principles calculations, the emergence of a long-range magnetic order. Furthermore, this intriguing observation may be understood based on a crossover between an acceptor-free magnetism and a band-coupling magnetism. Our findings pave the way for a precise control of magnetic order in future spintronic devices.
