The properties of Mn-doped GaAs are studied at several doping levels and hole compensations, using a real-space Hamiltonian on an fcc lattice that reproduces the valence bands of undoped GaAs. Large-scale Monte Carlo (MC) simulations on a Cray XT3 supercomputer, using up to a thousand nodes, were needed to make this effort possible. Our analysis considers both the spin-orbit interaction and the random distribution of the Mn ions. The hopping amplitudes are functions of the GaAs Luttinger parameters. At the coupling J~1.2eV deduced from photoemission experiments, the MC Curie temperature and the shape of the magnetization curves are in agreement with experimental results for annealed samples. Although there are sizable differences with mean-field predictions, the system is found to be closer to a hole-fluid regime than to localized carriers.
