Abstract

Diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge 1− xMn xTe Molecular beam epitaxy
We report the growth of IV–VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge 1− x Mn x Te thin films on BaF 2 (111) substrates with high Mn ion concentration ( x = 0.98) by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. The film structure and orientation were characterized by in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The chemical concentration was determined by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The thin film shows ferromagnetic ordering at 130 K, as determined from temperature-dependent magnetization.
