We report a strong correlation between the location of Mn sites in ferrromagnetic Ga 1-x Mn x As measured by channeling Rutherford backscattering and by particle induced x-ray emission experiments and its Curie temperature. The concentrations of free holes determined by electrochemical capacitance-voltage profiling and of uncompensated Mn ++ spins determined from SQUID magnetization measurements are found to depend on the concentration of unstable defects involving highly mobile Mn

The fact that annealing under various conditions has failed to produce Curie temperatures above ~110K is attributed to the existence of an upper limit on the free hole concentration in low-temperature-grown Ga 1-x Mn x As.
