We investigate the effect of single and multiple impurities on the Zeeman-localized, spin polarized bound states in dilute magnetic semiconductor hybrid system. Such bound states appear whenever a dilute magnetic semiconductor showing giant Zeeman effect is exposed to an external magnetic field showing nanoscale inhomogeneity. We consider the specific example of a superconductor-dilute magnetic semiconductor hybrid, calculate the energy spectrum and the wave functions of the bound states in the presence of a single impurity, and monitor the evolution of the bound state as a function of the impurity strength and impurity location with respect to the center of the Zeeman trapping potential. Our results have important experimental implications as they predict robust spin textures even for than than ideal samples. We find that for all realistic impurity strengths the Zeeman bound state survives the presence of the impurity. We also investigate the effect of a large number of impurities and perform ensemble averages with respect to the impurity locations. We find that the spin polarized Zeeman bound states are very robust, and they remain bound to the external field inhomogeneity throughout the experimentally relevant region of impurity concentration and scattering strength.
