Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

Magnetic semiconductors have attracted extensive attention due to their novel physical properties as well as the potential applications in future spintronics devices. Over the past decade, tremendous efforts have been made in the diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) system, with many controversies disentangled but many puzzles unsolved as well. Here in this paper, we summarize recent experimental results in the growth, microstructure and magnetic properties of Ge-based DMSs (mainlyGe1-xMnx), which have been comprehensively researched owing to their compatibility with Si microelectronics. Growth conditions of high-quality, defect-free, and magneticGe1-xMnxbulks, thin films, ordered arrays, quantum dots, and nanowires are discussed in detail.

ABSTRACTThe magnetic properties of films of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) such as (Ga,Mn)As, as well as bulk grown crystals of similar materials, have been found to be extremely sensitive to growth conditions, both in terms of the ferromagnetic transition temperature, and the details of their magnetization curves. We study an impurity band model for carriers in Mn-doped DMS applicable in the low carrier density regime, and discuss the effects of clustering on the magnetic properties of DMS, using both numerical mean field and Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, we study the effects of dimensionality on the transition temperature and other magnetic behaviour, and compare our results with experimental data.

Abstract The galvanomagnetic and magnetic properties of novel diluted magnetic semiconductors Pb1-x-yCaxCryTe (x=0.06-0.20, y=0.003-0.045) have been investigated. Temperature dependencies of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient have a metallic character indicating the pinning of Fermi level by the chromium impurity level on the background of the conduction band states. Magnetization curves display a clear hysteresis loop over the whole temperature range investigated. The Curie temperature, determined from the temperature dependencies of magnetization, achieves 345 K. Possible mechanisms of ferromagnetic ordering were discussed.
