Taking into account both random impurity distribution and thermal fluctuations of localized spins, we have performed a model calculation for the carrier (hole) state in Ga₁₋ₓMnₓAs by using the coherent potential approximation (CPA). The result reveals that a p-hole in the band tail of Ga₁₋ₓMnₓAs is not like a free carrier but is rather virtually bounded to impurity sites. The carrier spin strongly couples to the localized d spins on Mn ions. The hopping of the carrier among Mn sites causes the ferromagnetic ordering of the localized spins through the double-exchange mechanism. The Curie temperature obtained by using conventional parameters agrees well with the experimental result.
