The luminescence properties of light-emitting diodes based on GaAs/InGaAs heterostructures containing Mn-doped layers are studied. The dependences of the degree of electroluminescence circular polarization on the growth parameters, specifically, the Mn content and the hole concentration are obtained. A steady increase in the degree of electroluminescence circular polarization and in the Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic structure with increasing hole concentration is observed, and a change in sign of the degree of circular polarization under variations in the Mn content is revealed. The data are interpreted on the basis of well-known models of ferromagnetism in structures based on ferromagnetic semiconductors.
