One of the most attractive characteristics of diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors is the possibility to modulate their electronic and ferromagnetic properties, coupled by itinerant holes through various means. A prominent example is the modification of Curie temperature and magnetic anisotropy by ion implantation and pulsed laser melting in III–V diluted magnetic semiconductors. In this study, to the best of our knowledge, we performed, for the first time, the co-doping of (In,Mn)As diluted magnetic semiconductors by Al by co-implantation subsequently combined with a pulsed laser annealing technique. Additionally, the structural and magnetic properties were systematically investigated by gradually raising the Al implantation fluence. Unexpectedly, under a well-preserved epitaxial structure, all samples presented weaken Curie temperature, magnetization, as well as uniaxial magnetic anisotropies when more aluminum was involved. Such a phenomenon is probably due to enhanced carrier localization introduced by Al or the suppression of substitutional Mn atoms.

ABSTRACTNiobium diselenide has potential for use as a conductive lubricant, but to achieve the optimal properties of low friction coefficient, high conductivity and oxidation resistance, the SeJNb ratio and crystallinity must be carefully controlled. It has been shown that Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) permits the required degree of control, even over films with complex stoichiometries. (4–8). In this study, PLD was used to grow stoichiometric, crystalline thin films of niobium diselenide and to study the effects of laser deposition parameters on film properties. Film chemistry and crystallinity were evaluated using XPS, RBS, and glancingangle XRD. Friction and wear measurements were taken on a ball-on-flat tribometer. The deposition apparatus incorporates a fully computerized data acquisition and control system that facilitated the correlation of the laser deposition parameters to film properties. This study has shown that film chemistry could be changed from substoichiometric to superstoichiometric and crystallinity varied between amorphous to highly crystalline by appropriate choice of PLD parameters. The property correlations and acquisition system that permitted the identification of the optimal growth conditions will be described.

ABSTRACTCo-doped ZnO thin films with room-temperature ferromagnetism have been successfully synthesized on (001) Si substrates at 450 °C by pulsed-laser deposition using a Zn0.95Co0.05O ceramic target. Their microstructural properties are carefully studied using atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The oxidation state of Co and the ratio of Co/Zn are examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements are performed using SQUID. The results show that a single-phase crystalline Co-doped ZnO film was grown with (002) preferential orientation and some edge dislocations formed during the film growth. The origin of room-temperature ferromagnetism is explored. The presence of nanoclusters of any magnetic phase can be ruled out. The dislocations, coupled with oxygen vacancy, may contribute to the ferromagnetic properties in the much diluted magnetic semiconductor.
