  We investigate the possibility of charge carrier localization in magnetic
semiconductors due to the presence of a highly inhomogeneous external magnetic
field. As an example, we study in detail the properties of a magnetic
semiconductor-permalloy disk hybrid system. We find that the giant Zeeman
respose of the magnetic semiconductor in conjuction with the highly non-uniform
magnetic field created by the vortex state of a permalloy disk can lead to
Zeeman localized states at the interface of the two materials. These trapped
state are chiral, with chirality controlled by the orientation of the core
magnetization of the permalloy disk. We calculate the energy spectrum and the
eigenstates of these Zeeman localized states, and discuss their experimental
signatures in spectroscopic probes.
