TLDR
The physical properties of many-body ferromagnetic confined systems come from the competing carrier-median-ferromagnetic and Coulomb interactions as mentioned in this paper, and the magnetic phases in gated quantum dots with holes can be controlled by the voltage or via optical methods.
Abstract
Many-particle electron states in semiconductor quantum dots with carrier-mediated ferromagnetism are studied theoretically within the self-consistent Boltzmann equation formalism. Depending on the conditions, a quantum dot may contain there phases: partially spin-polarized ferromagnetic, fully spin-polarized ferromagnetic, and paramagnetic phases. The physical properties of many-body ferromagnetic confined systems come from the competing carrier-mediated ferromagnetic and Coulomb interactions. The magnetic phases in gated quantum dots with holes can be controlled by the voltage or via optical methods.

Indirect exchange coupling of nuclear magnetic moments by conduction electrons

TL;DR: In this paper, a calculation of the indirect exchange type coupling of nuclear magnetic moments in a metal by means of the hyperfine interaction with the conduction electrons was given, which appears to account qualitatively for the broad nuclear spin resonance lines observed in natural metallic silver.

Interaction Between the d Shells in the Transition Metals

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the spin coupling between the incomplete $d$ shells and the conduction electrons leads to a tendency for a ferromagnetic alignment of $d $ spins.
