Diffraction Patterns

ABSTRACTNeutron diffraction patterns of MBE-grown single crystal zinc-blende epilayers of Cd1−xMnxSe with x=0.70 and 0.75 reveal the onset of long-range Type-III AF ordering at low T, in sharp contrast with earlier studies of bulk II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors, where only short-range Type III correlations are observed. Results of first neutron diffraction studies of magnetic ordering in MBE-grown ZnSe/MnSe superlattices are also reported.

ABSTRACTMuch of the work in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) in past years has focused on the alloys such as Cd1−xMnxTe. Recently, there has been an increasing accent on DMS alloys containing the transition metal ions Fe2+ and Co2+. We review here the properties of these new materials and compare them with the alloys. We also examine the novel opportunities afforded by the molecular beam epitaxy of epilayers and heterostructures containing the “metastable” zinc-blende phase of Cd1−xMnxSe.

Magnetic Nature

The injection impurity element into ZnO has added new dimension to its versatile applications particularly in spintronics and optoelectronics. In this work, we are reporting effect of non magnetic Ti, and magnetic V impurities in ZnO. The substitution of impurity atoms have been done in ground state wurtzite (WZ) and meta stable zinc-blende (ZB) structure. Our investigations have revealed a small difference in WZ and ZB geometries of contaminated ZnO reflecting on the possibility of their experimental fabrication. Spin polarized electronic structures resembled nonmagnetic nature of Ti:ZnO in WZ and magnetic nature in ZB geometry. Similarly introduction of V in to ZnO induced magnetization in ZnO in both WZ and ZB geometry. For these investigations, we have adapted DFT approach using FP-L(APW+lo) method implemented in WIEN2k code.

Vdw Interaction

An effective interionic interaction potential is developed to study the pressure-induced phase transitions from zinc blende (B3) to rock salt (B1) structure in diluted magnetic semiconductors Zn 1-x Mn x Se (x=0.08 and 0.15). As a first step, the elastic constants, including the long-range Coulomb, van der Waals (vdW) interaction and the short-range repulsive interaction up to second-neighbor ions within the Hafemeister and Flygare approach, are derived. Assuming that both the ions are polarizable, the Slater–Kirkwood variational method is employed to estimate the vdW coefficients. The estimated values of the phase transition pressure (Pt) increase with Mn concentration. The vast volume discontinuity in the pressure volume phase diagram identifies the structural phase transition from zinc blende to rock salt structure. The variation of second-order elastic constants with pressure resembles that observed in some binary semiconductors. It is noticed that the vdW interaction is effective in obtaining the thermodynamical parameters such as Debye temperature, Gruneisen parameter, and thermal expansion coefficient. However, the inconsistency in the value of pressure derivative of the theoretical and experimental value of C44 is attributed to the fact that we have derived the expressions by assuming that the overlap repulsion is significant only up to nearest neighbors, as well as neglecting thermal effects.
