For various DOS forms, it has been found that physically different regimes (of weak and strong magnetic field) can be realized in the concentration dependence of effective masses. In a weak field, despite the spin splitting occurrence due to translational mechanism of ferromagnetic order stabilization, a sharp change of the effective mass splitting exists for arbitrary electron concentrations, which can be utilized for tuning of the spin polarization by the external field. When the magnetic field is comparatively strong, the correlation band narrowing factor controls the critical concentration for the conduction type change. The DOS form governs the concentration dependence of transport characteristics, therefore the use of a realistic DOS for modeling of a spontaneous or magnetic field-induced ferromagnetic order is of importance.
