An extensive comparison of anisotropies in MBE grown ( Ga , Mn ) As material

چکیده
This paper reports on a detailed magnetotransport investigation of the magnetic anisotropies of (Ga,Mn)As layers produced by various sources worldwide. Using anisotropy fingerprints to identify contributions of the various higher order anisotropy terms, we show that the presence of both a [100] and a [110] uniaxial anisotropy in addition to the primary ([100] + [010]) anisotropy is common to all medium doped (Ga,Mn)As layers typically used in transport measurement, with the amplitude of these uniaxial terms being characteristic of the individual layers.

Analysis of the Band-Structure in (Ga, Mn)As Epitaxial Layers by Optical Methods
The ternary III-V semiconductor (Ga, Mn)As has recently drawn a lot of attention as the model diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor, combining semiconducting properties with magnetism. (Ga, Mn)As layers are usually gown by the low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy (LT-MBE) technique. Below a magnetic transition temperature, TC, substitutional Mn2+ ions are ferromagnetically ordered owing to inte...

متن کاملElectronic structure and exchange constants in magnetic semi - conductors digital alloys : chemical and band - gap effects
First-principles simulations have been performed for [001]-ordered Mn/Ge and Mn/GaAs " digital alloys " , focusing on the effects of i) a larger band-gap and ii) a different semiconducting host on the electronic structure of the magnetic semiconductors of interest. Our results for the exchange constants in Mn/Ge, evaluated using a frozen-magnon scheme, show that a larger band-gap tends to give ...
متن کاملRBS / Channeling study of Er doped GaN ® lms grown by MBE on Si 1 1 1 substrates
The in ̄uence of the Ga cell temperature on the quality of GaN ®lms grown by MBE on p-Si(1 1 1) substrates was studied for cell temperatures (TGa) in the range from 865°C to 922°C using the RBS/Channeling technique. The ®lms were in situ doped during growth with Er at a constant cell temperature. The ®lms show a strong dependence of the crystalline quality on the Ga cell temperature with the bes...
متن کاملEffect of the shape anisotropy on the magnetic configuration of (Ga,Mn)As and its evolution with temperature
We study the effect of the shape anisotropy on the magnetic domain configurations of a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs(001) epitaxial wire as a function of temperature. Using magnetoresistance measurements, we deduce the magnetic configurations and estimate the relative strength of the shape anisotropy compared with the intrinsic anisotropies. Since the intrinsic anisotropy is found ...
