Ranging from quantum-computing to sensing applications devices, the control of spin-degree of freedom has been highly desirable in semiconductors physics. In III-V semiconductors (e.g., in GaAs or InSb) this could be achieved with manganese impurities. Manganese forms a complex, where a hole from the host aligns antiferromagnetically with the five half spin of the 3d5 manganese core [1]. In our work, based on previous ESR measurements [1], we show a new pathway to treat the manganese core fully quantum-mechanically and, using an analytical treatment from the effective mass approximation [2], we suggest a coherent manipulation of the spatial structure of a single manganese in bulk III-V semiconductors.
