Abstract

Localization and dephasing of conduction electrons in a low-carrier-density ferromagnet due to scattering on magnetic fluctuations is considered. We claim the existence of the `mobility edge', which separates the states with fast diffusion and the states with slow diffusion; the latter is determined by the dephasing time. When the `mobility edge' crosses the Fermi energy a large and sharp change of conductivity is observed. The theory provides an explanation for the observed temperature dependence of conductivity in ferromagnetic semiconductors and manganite pyrochlores.
