About Ge(Mn) diluted magnetic semiconductor

چکیده
Deposition of 0.5 monolayer of Mn by molecular beam epitaxy on the surface of a Ge(0 0 1) substrate, and annealing, allowed the fabrication of a cluster-free Ge(Mn) diluted solution. Electronic spin resonance (ESR) was used to study the magnetic properties of this solution. These measurements, combined with secondary ion mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy, show that the detected ferromagnetic signal is due to surface islands, while Mn atoms on Ge substitutional sites gives no detectable ESR signal. & 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Room Temperature Ferromagnetic Mn:Ge(001)
We report the synthesis of a room temperature ferromagnetic Mn-Ge system obtained by simple deposition of manganese on Ge(001), heated at relatively high temperature (starting with 250 °C). The samples were characterized by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)...
متن کاملAb-initio study of exchange constants and electronic structure in diluted magnetic group-IV semiconductors
Exchange-constants have been evaluated from first-principles in Mn-doped Ge, mainly focusing on the effects of the impurity concentration and of the arrangement of Mn-atoms in the semiconducting matrix. As expected, the Mn-concentration strongly affects the magnitude of the exchange constants (especially between Mn as first-nearest-neighbors (NNs) in the cation position). Interestingly, the arr...
متن کاملHot-electron photoluminescence study of the „Ga,Mn...As diluted magnetic semiconductor
We study the spectral shape and the magnetic field induced polarization of hot-electron photoluminescence from the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga,Mn As. It is demonstrated that the holes occupy predominantly the impurity band and not the valence band as required for the Rudermann-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida-type exchange interaction. We show that the ground state of the impurity band is split by un...
متن کاملIII-V diluted magnetic semiconductor: Substitutional doping of Mn in InAs.
Local structures around Mn in In12xMnxAs films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been studied by using Mn K-edge extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure ~EXAFS! technique. Substitution of Mn atoms for the In sites is found in samples either grown at low substrate temperatures ~near 200 °C! or with a low Mn concentration ~about 1 at. %!. This result represents a significant extension of an e...
متن کاملHydrothermal Synthesis and Properties of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Zn1-xMnxO Nanowires
We report the synthesis of oriented single crystalline Mn doped ZnO nanowires through a hydrothermal method. Structural characterizations using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Mn was doped into the lattice structure, forming solid solution. The Mn doped ZnO nanowires possess wurtzite structure with a c-axis growth orientation. The physical properties of ...
