Spin-Wave Resonance Model of Surface Pinning in Ferromagnetic Semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As Thin Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The source of spin-wave resonance (SWR) in thin films of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As is still under debate: does SWR stem from the surface anisotropy (in which case the surface inhomogeneity (SI) model would apply), or does it originate in the bulk inhomogeneity of the magnetic structure of the sample (and thus requires the use of the volume inhomogeneity (VI) model)? This paper outlines the ground on which the controversy arose and shows why in different conditions a resonance sample may meet the assumptions of either the SI or the VI model.

Large magnetoresistance in a ferromagnetic GaMnAs/GaAs Zener diode
–We investigate spin-dependent interband tunnelling in a ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As/ GaAs Zener diode. The ferromagnetic pn-junction is fabricated with a Mn-doped p-type GaAs layer on top of a nonmagnetic n-type GaAs substrate. When both sides of the junction are heavily doped, a large magnetic-field–dependent tunnelling effect can be seen at low temperatures in the measured current-voltage (I-V )...

The responses of magnetic moments to external stimuli such as magnetic-field, heat, light, and electric-field have been utilized to manipulate the magnetism in magnetic semiconductors, with many of the novel ideas applied even to ferromagnetic metals. Here, we review a new experimental development on the control of magnetism in (Ga,Mn)As thin films by surface decoration of organic molecules: Mo...

In this paper a simple model calculation of spin wave is given for the ferromagtic layer in ultra thin ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer. In this model the magnetic layer is assumed as an isolated layer but the effect of antiferromagnetic layer on ferromagnetic layer and unidirectional anisotropy, is given in the effective field applied on each spin. The thin layer is assumed as two-dim...

The magnetic anisotropy of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga, Mn) (As, P) is studied in a material-specific microscopic k ⋅p approach. We calculate the electronic energy band structure of (Ga, Mn) (As, P) quaternary ferromagnetic alloys using a 40-band k ⋅p model and taking into account the s, p-d exchange interaction and the strain of the (Ga, Mn) (As, P) layer on a GaAs substrate. We determ...
