Dilute magnetic semiconductor

The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject.
Please help improve the article with a good introductory style.

Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are semiconducting materials doped with transition metals in addition to conventional doping materials. For example, GaAs can be doped with the ferromagnetic Manganese to create (Ga,Mn)As.

They are currently being heavily researched by many different groups across the world as it is felt they offer great potential in spintronics devices. Although working DMS materials have been demonstrated, they have very low Curie temperatures (120 K is the highest confirmed temperature to date).
