Hole Spin Polarization in AlAs / Ga 1 � x � y Mn x Al y As Structures
During the last years spin-polarized transport became a matter of major interest [1, 2], giving rise to a eld usually called magnetoelectronics, or spintronics. Much e ort has been made in studying and producing the so-called spin-valve, where a spin-polarized current is generated. A promising system in that area is the recently grown structure of GaAs/AlAs with inclusions of Ga1 xMnxAs layers ...
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...
متن کاملSurface segregation of interstitial manganese in Ga1−xMnxAs studied by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy
The effects of low-temperature annealing and oxidation of the dilute magnetic semiconductor Ga1−xMnxAs are studied by photoemission spectroscopy in the hard x-ray regime HAXPES , with special attention to the depth profile of both concentration and chemical state of manganese. Annealing of Ga1−xMnxAs in air at 190 °C for up to 150 h leads to an enrichment of manganese at the surface accompanied...
متن کاملMn 3d electronic configurations in „Ga1−xMnx...As ferromagnetic semiconductors and their influence on magnetic ordering
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 کاملLattice dynamics of Ga1−xMnxN and Ga1−xMnxAs by first-principle calculations
In this work, we present theoretical results, using first-principle methods associated to the virtual crystal approximation model, for the vibrational mode frequencies of both the Ga1-xMnxN (in both cubic and hexagonal structures) and the Ga1-xMnxAs alloys, with the Mn contents in the range of 0% to 20%. The dependence of the calculated phonon frequencies with the Mn content was analyzed, and t...
