Multiband tight-binding model of local magnetism in Ga1-xMnxAs.

چکیده
We present the spin and orbitally resolved local density of states (LDOS) for a single Mn impurity and for two nearby Mn impurities in GaAs. The GaAs host is described by a sp(3) tight-binding Hamiltonian, and the Mn impurity is described by a local p-d hybridization and on-site potential. Local spin-polarized resonances within the valence bands significantly enhance the LDOS near the band edge. For two nearby parallel Mn moments the acceptor states hybridize and split in energy. Thus scanning tunneling spectroscopy can directly measure the Mn-Mn interaction as a function of distance.

Electronic and optical properties of ferromagnetic Ga1−xMnxAs in a multiband tight-binding approach
We consider the electronic properties of ferromagnetic bulk Ga1−xMnxAs at zero temperature using two realistic tight-binding models, one due to Tang and Flatté and one due to Mašek. In particular, we study the density of states, the Fermi energy, the inverse participation ratio, and the optical conductivity with varying impurity concentration x=0.01–0.15. The results are very sensitive to the a...

متن کاملCalculation for Energy of (111) Surfaces of Palladium in Tight Binding Model
In this work calculation of energetics of transition metal surfaces is presented. The tight-binding model is employed in order to calculate the energetics. The tight-binding basis set is limited to d orbitals which are valid for elements at the end of transition metals series. In our analysis we concentrated on electronic effects at temperature T=0 K, this means that no entropic term will be pr...
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...

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...
