Introduction to Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper begins with a brief introduction to the field of spintronics and dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS), the second part discusses in detail on three typical DMS materials–(Ga,Mn)As, (Ga,Mn)N and Transition metal doped oxide. Next mechanism of DMS ferromagnetism along with its magneto transport properties are discussed. Following that, an important sample preparation technique in DMS– Molecular Beam Epitaxial (MBE) – will be presented. Finally, conclusion and outlook are made towards the future study on DMS.

متن کاملScattering mechanism of nonmagnetic phase on nano diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS)
This paper shows the scattering mechanism at diluted magneticsemiconductors. The doped magnetic atom produces a scattering potential due to becoupled of itinerant carrier spin of host material with magnetic momentum of the dopedmagnetic atom. Formulas of scattering event were rewritten by the plane waveexpansion and then the electron mobility of DMS was calculated. Calculations showKondo effect...

In this study, the effect of simultaneous doping of magnesium, calcium, and copper ions on the properties of zinc oxide doped with cobalt was investigated. The sol-gel method has been used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The structural and optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and DRS spectroscopy. ...
متن کاملEnhanced carrier scattering rates in dilute magnetic semiconductors with correlated impurities
In III-V dilute magnetic semiconductors such as Ga1−xMnxAs, the impurity positions tend to be correlated, which can drastically affect the electronic transport properties of these materials. Within the memory function formalism we have derived a general expression for the current relaxation kernel in spin and charge disordered media and have calculated spin and charge scattering rates in the we...
متن کاملRole of embedded clustering in dilute magnetic semiconductors: Cr doped GaN.
Results of extensive density-functional studies provide direct evidence that Cr atoms in Cr:GaN have a strong tendency to form embedded clusters, occupying Ga sites. Significantly, for larger than 2-Cr-atom clusters, states containing antiferromagnetic coupling with net spin in the range 0.06-1.47 muB/Cr are favored. We propose a picture where various configurations coexist and the statistical ...
