AbstractExtended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques have been used to investigate the local structures in Inl-xMnxAs films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under different processing conditions. For samples grown at low substrate temperatures (near 200°C) or with a low Mn concentration (about 1 atomic%), the Mn atoms can substitute for In in the InAs host, thus indicating that III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) can indeed be prepared by substitutional doping of magnetic impurities. On the other hand, substitution dose not take place in high Mn concentration (above 10%) samples grown at high substrate temperatures (around 300°C); these samples contain a large amount of MnAs clusters and become ferromagnetic

AbstractThe magnetic characteristics of the dilute magnetic system GaGdN are investigated by mainly soft-X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in energy range of 1160 – 1240 eV. The strong MCD signals up to 30 % at 15K are observed. The temperature dependence of its intensity is not on simple Curie-Weiss curve and depicts three-step curve. A step around 40 – 100K suggests a new magnetic phase. The luminescence spectrum of GaGdN at low temperature is divided into three parts consisting of two broad bands around 432 nm and 503 nm and a sharp peak at 652 nm. This sharp line is assigned to the intra-transition of f – f orbital owing to the weak temperature dependence of the intensity and peak position. AlGdN grown by molecular beam epitaxy produces luminescence at 318.5 nm. X-ray absorption fine structure is examined to survey the occupancy of the Gd ion in the grown specimens.

The electronic structure of the Co-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) were investigated theoretically from first principles, using the fully relativistic Dirac linear muffin-tin orbital band structure method. The X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra at the Co L3, In M2, Sn M2, and O K edges were investigated theoretically from first principles. The origin of the XMCD spectra in these compounds was examined. The calculated results are compared with available experimental data.

We present a comprehensive analysis of the domain structure formation in the ferromagneticphase of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) of the p-type. Our analysis is carried outon the base of the effective magnetic free energy of DMS calculated by us earlier. This freeenergy, substituting DMS (a disordered magnet) by an effective ordered substance, permits usto apply the standard phenomenological approach to the domain structure calculation. Usingthe coupled system of Maxwell equations with those obtained by the minimization of the freeenergy functional, we show the existence of the critical ratio vcr of concentration of chargecarriers and magnetic ions such that the sample critical thickness Lcr (such that the sampleis monodomain at L < Lcr) diverges as v → vcr. At v > vcr, the sample is monodomain. Thisfeature makes DMS different from conventional ordered magnets, as it gives a possibility tocontrol the sample critical thickness and the emerging domain structure period by a variationof v. As the concentration of magnetic impurities grows, vcr → ∞, restoring a conventionalbehavior of ordered magnets. Above facts have been revealed by the examination of the tem-perature of the transition to an inhomogeneous magnetic state (stripe domain structure) inthe slab of a p-type DMS with finite thickness L. Our theory can be easily generalized for anarbitrary disordered magnet.
