Structural and magnetic characterizations have been combined to investigate the growth kinetics of Ge1−xMnx diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) on Ge(001) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We have identified the growth process window allowing stabilization of a high Curie temperature (TC) nanocolumn phase and provide evidence that the growth of semiconducting Ge1−xMnx nano...

The magnetic properties of Ho2Fe17 − xMnx compounds (x = 0–2) of ferromagnetic ordering temperatures up to TC ~344 K have been investigated by DC magnetization and Mössbauer effect measurements. The nature of the magnetic phase transitions and the critical behaviour around TC has been investigated by analysis of the magnetisation data and the critical exponents β, γ and δ determined. The critic...

Through first-principles full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method within the local density approximation, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of Zn1-xMnx Y (VIa) where Y represent an element of the VIa column(S, Se and Te) compounds-based diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) in the Zinc-blend structure. We have investigated the lattice parameters and band g...
