Room temperature magnetic (Ga,Mn)N: a new material for spin electronic devices
MATERIALS LETTERS, 51(6), 500–503.
A new dilute magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)N grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is reported. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and extraordinary Hall effect (EHE) measurements verified a ferromagnetic component at room temperature. The direction of the easy axis and the Curie temperature varies with the growth conditions, the latter ranging from 38°C to 75°C. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) confirms diffusion of Mn into the GaN to a depth of 380 Å.
