Mott relation for anomalous Hall and Nernst effects in Ga1-xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mott relation between the electrical and thermoelectric transport coefficients normally holds for phenomena involving scattering. However, the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ferromagnets may arise from intrinsic spin-orbit interaction. In this work, we have simultaneously measured AHE and the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in Ga1-xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor films, and observed an exceptionally large ANE at zero magnetic field. We further show that AHE and ANE share a common origin and demonstrate the validity of the Mott relation for the anomalous transport phenomena.

We applied x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism XMCD at the Mn 2p-3d resonances to study the Mn 3d electronic configuration and the coupling of Mn 3d magnetic moments in various Ga1−xMnxAs films. The homogeneity of the Mn depth profile throughout the Ga1−xMnxAs film was tested by additional structure-sensitive x-ray resonant reflectivity measurements. In all inves...
متن کاملLarge tunneling magnetoresistance in GaMnAs/AlAs/GaMnAs ferromagnetic semiconductor tunnel junctions
We have observed very large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in epitaxially grown Ga1−xMnxAs/AlAs/Ga1−xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor tunnel junctions. Large TMR ratios more than 70% were obtained in junctions with a very thin (5 1.6 nm) AlAs tunnel barrier when the magnetic field was applied along the [100] axis in the film plane. The TMR was found to rapidly decrease with increasing the b...
متن کاملWeak localization in Ga1-xMnxAs: Evidence of impurity band transport
We report the observation of negative magnetoresistance in the ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga1−xMnxAs, x=0.05–0.08, at low temperatures T 3 K and low magnetic fields 0 B 20 mT . We attribute this effect to weak localization. Observation of weak localization strongly suggests impurity band transport in these materials, since for valence band transport one expects either weak antilocalization due...

We develop the theory of the shift in the band edge caused by a strong exchange interaction between charge carrier spins and the spins of the localized magnetic electrons in ferromagnetic semiconductors. The one-particle Green function is derived by usingMatsubara’s temperature Green functions, and then an infiniteorder correction to the band edge due to the exchange interaction is determined f...
متن کاملImpurity band conduction in a high temperature ferromagnetic semiconductor.
The band structure of a prototypical dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS), Ga1-xMnxAs, is studied across the phase diagram via infrared and optical spectroscopy. We prove that the Fermi energy (EF) resides in a Mn-induced impurity band (IB). Specifically the changes in the frequency dependent optical conductivity [sigma1(omega)] with carrier density are only consistent with EF lying in an IB. Fu...
