Structural, Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Dilute MnScN(001) Grown by RF Nitrogen Plasma Molecular Beam Epitaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of dilute Mn-doped scandium nitride thin films grown by radio frequency N-plasma molecular beam epitaxy are explored. The results indicate a small magnetization extending up to as high as 350K. There is a slight dependence on the manganese concentration, with the lower Mn concentration showing a larger saturation magnetization.

Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Fe0.1Sc0.9N /ScN(001)/MgO(001) Grown by Radio- Frequency Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Fe0.1Sc0.9N with a thickness of ~ 380 nm was grown on top of a ScN(001) buffer layer of ~ 50 nm, grown on MgO(001) substrate by radio-frequency N-plasma molecular beam epitaxy (rf-MBE). The buffer layer was grown at TS ~ 800 o C, whereas the Fe0.1Sc0.9N(001) film was grown at TS ~ 420 °C. In-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction measurements show that the Fe0.1Sc0.9N film growth star...

Scandium nitride ~001! oriented layers have been grown on magnesium oxide ~001! substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using a rf-plasma source and a scandium effusion cell. The Sc/N flux ratio is found to be critical in determining the structural, optical, and electronic properties of the grown epitaxial layers. A distinct transition occurs at the point where the Sc/N flux ratio equals 1, which ...

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence of nitrogen-doped p-type MgxZn1-xO nanocrystalline thin film grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by rf plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy is investigated. P-type behavior is confirmed by both Hall effect and Seebeck measurements. Structural defect-related bound excitonic emission peak is distinguished at around *50 meV lower than peak energy of the ne...

High quality scandium nitride films have been grown on magnesium oxide ~001! substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using a rf plasma source for nitrogen. Both reflection high energy electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction confirm that these films have ~001!-orientation. Atomic force microscopy reveals a surface morphology consisting of large plateaus and pyramids. The plateaus are found to be...
