چکیده
We report the first example of a dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) confined in all three dimensions (DMS quantum dot). Zn0.93Mn0.07S clusters o f 2 5 A diameter are successfully synthesized inside a glass matrix and fully characterized by chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction, extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Effect of size quantization on the exciton energy has been observed. Preliminary magnetic susceptibility data are presented and discussed.

Non-equilibrium quantum dots: transport
The electronic transport through three-dimensionally confined semiconductor ’quantum dots’ is investigated and analyzed. The spectrum corresponds to resonant tunneling from laterally confined emitter contact subbands through the discrete three-dimensionally confined quan tum dot states. Momentum non-conservation is observed in these structures.
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...
متن کاملOptically active three-dimensionally confined structures realized via molecular beam epitaxical growth on nonplanar GaAs (111)B
We report the first realization on nonplanar patterned substrates of optically active three-dimensionally cotied semiconductor volumes created in situ via a one-step molecular beam epitaxial growth. Growth is carried out on pyramidal mesas on ( 111 )B substrates and in a regime that results in the emergence of three equivalent { 110) side facets which overtake the as-patterned {loo) side facets...

متن کاملOscillating magnetoresistance in diluted magnetic semiconductor barrier structures
Ballistic spin polarized transport through diluted magnetic semiconductor single and double barrier structures is investigated theoretically using a two-component model. The tunneling magnetoresistance ~TMR! of the system exhibits oscillating behavior when the magnetic field is varied. An interesting beat pattern in the TMR and spin polarization is found for different nonmagnetic semiconductor/...
