ABSTRACTGd:GaN layers grown with different Gd concentrations by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are studied using photoconductivity and photo-thermoelectric power spectroscopy. Our study reveals that the incorporation of Gd produces a large concentration of acceptor-like defects in the GaN lattice. The defect band is found to be located ~450meV above the valence band. Moreover, the concentration of defects is found to increase with the Gd concentration. The effect of annealing on the structural and the magnetic properties of GaN implanted with Gd is also investigated. A clear correlation between the saturation magnetization and the defect density is observed in implanted samples. The colossal magnetic moment per Gd ion and the ferromagnetism observed in this material is explained in terms of the formation of giant defect cluster around each Gd ion.

Amperes law states that the magnetic moment of a ring is given by current times the area enclosed. Also from equilibrium statistical mechanics, it is known that magnetic moment is the derivative of free energy with respect to magnetic field. In this work, we analyze a quantum double ring system interacting with a reservoir. A simple S-Matrix model is used for system-reservoir coupling. We see complete agreement between the aforesaid two definitions when coupling between system and reservoir is weak, increasing the strength of coupling parameter, however, leads to disagreement between the two, thereby signifying the important role played by the coupling parameter in mesoscopic systems.

The results of magnetic studies and Mössbauer investigations made with 119Sn source are reviewed for the series of RERhSn (RE = Tb, Dy and Ho) compounds crystallizing in the same hexagonal ZrNiAl-type of structure. The role of crystalline electric field effects in the establishing of magnetic moment orientations observed in these compounds and their influence on the observed magnitudes of magnetic moments are discussed.
