Theory of Hydrogen Complexes in MnxGa1−xAs Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atomic hydrogen diffuses in semiconductor lattices and binds to impurities by forming complexes that can lead to a full neutralization of the impurity effects. In the present paper, the structural, vibrational, electronic and magnetic properties of complexes formed by H in the MnxGa1−xAs (x=0.03) dilute magnetic semiconductor have been investigated by using first-principles DFT-LSD and LDA+U theoretical methods. The results account for recent experimental findings showing a H passivation of the electronic and magnetic properties of Mn in GaAs. Moreover, they show that electron correlation has crucial effects on the properties of H-Mn complexes.

Boosting the Curie temperature with correlations in diluted magnetic semiconductors
We present a quantitative theory for the effects of correlated doping on the ferromagnetism of diluted magnetic semiconductors. It predicts that room temperature ferromagnetism should be possible in homogeneous, but correlated, samples of MnxGa1−xAs. The theory predicts lower critical temperatures for MnxGa1−xN.

متن کاملMagnetic Circular Dichroism of a Dilute Ferromagnetic Alloy (ni-mn)
There is much interest and debate concerning the origin of ferromagnetism in dilute alloys of MnxGa1-xAs and other magnetically doped semiconductors [1]. The Mn acts as an acceptor introducing itinerant holes into the semiconductor. The ferromagnetic (FM) coupling between the magnetic Mn is thought to be via RKKY screening by the itinerant hole gas [2]. This coupling induces FM order at concent...

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are semiconductors alloyed with magnetic elements [1]. The physical properties of these materials can be tuned by both charge and spin, thus, they have great potential of being used in a wide variety of spintronic applications, such as magneto-optical, magneto-electrical, and magneto-transport devices. Spintronics (spin+electronics) is the technology that ...
متن کاملHigh-accuracy X-ray absorption spectra from mM solutions of nickel (II) complexes with multiple solutions using transmission XAS.
A new approach is introduced for determining X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra on absolute and relative scales using multiple solutions with different concentrations by the characterization and correction of experimental systematics. This hybrid technique is a development of standard X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) along the lines of the high-accuracy X-ray extended range techn...

Herein, a theoretical study on the stability of some vic-dioxime complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) in gas and aqueous phases is reported. The DFT/M06/SDD and DFT/M06/6-31G+(d,p) levels of theory were adopted for the metal ions and for every other element respectively. Structural analyses of investigated complexes have revealed square planar geometries stabilized by two O–H⋯Cl hydrogen bond...
