Epitaxial devices have been synthesized with an intermediate spacer layer of the same semiconductor (zinc oxide, ZnO) used to produce the DMS material (ZnCoO) ensuring a homoepitaxial junction to help reduce the interface states and conduction mismatch. We observe a large magnetoresistance of about 32% in the devices at low temperatures. The present work suggests that spin polarized transport could be achieved with DMS materials acting as the source of injected spins into a non-magnetic host.}, number={1-2}, journal={SOLID STATE COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Ramachandran, S. and Prater, J.

A low temperature regrowth process at 750–850°C was adopted to limit lateral overgrowth. High resolution electron microscopy images and selected area diffraction confirmed the regrowth selectivity and revealed that the low temperature regrown GaN is epitaxial and has a wurtzite crystal structure.

The main emphasis in this work has been on the correlation of microstructure with properties, specifically with magnetic properties and the fate of cobalt ions into substitutional sites versus precipitates. The reasons for room-temperature ferromagnetism are explored, and convincingly proved to be one of the inherent properties of the material. Most importantly, the presence of nanoclusters of any magnetic phase was ruled out. This was determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy and STEM-Z (scanning transmission electron microscopy-atomic number) contrast studies.}, number={25}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Ramachandran, S and Tiwari, A and Narayan, J}, year={2004}, month={Jun}, pages={5255–5257} }
