2 Ferromagnetic (FM) Semiconductors: Outline Why make semiconductors ferromagnetic? Properties of III 1-x Mn x V alloys Mn interstitials: their role and detection Effect of the Fermi energy on the growth of III 1-x Mn x V alloys Future directions FM semiconductor devices
3 Motivation: semiconductor-based spintronics spintronics Today s electronics and data processing uses semiconductor chips that take advantage of the electrical charge of electrons. Recently a new field of semiconductor technology began to emerge, with the hope of using electron spin in addition to its charge in semiconductor devices ( spintronics spintronics ) ). This could combine many functionalities (information storage, logic and data processing, communications) in a single chip. Ultimate goal: quantum computation via spin entanglement
4 Examples of ferromagnetic semiconductors Ga 1-x Mn x As (T c ~170K) In 1-x Mn x As (Tc ~ 60K) Ga 1-x Mn x Sb (Tc ~ 30K) In 1-x Mn x Sb (Tc ~12K) Note: Mn goes into the III-V lattice as divalent Mn ++ substitutionally for the Group-III element. In this situation it is both a magnetic moment and an acceptor.
5 How to make III-Mn Mn-V V ferromagnetic? Ruderman-Kittel Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction carrier mediated can be ferromagnetic Requirements: Large Mn conc. x very high p II-Mn-VIs difficult to dope III-Mn-Vs easier, since Mn also provides holes Ga 1-x Mn x As T C =170K
6 In practice, high Curie temperature T C will be needed for many applications; Mean field theory predicts: C Mn 2 * 1/3 T = CN β m p N Mn : concentration of uncompensated Mn spins; β : coupling constant between localized Mn spins and the free holes (p-d coupling), m* : effective mass of the holes, p : free hole concentration.

28 Low Temperature annealing
29 LT-annealing: resistivity and magnetization T C increases for optimal annealing Magnetization (emu/cm 3 ) Magnetization (emu/cm 3 ) T=5 K Magnetic field (Gs) 5 as-grown in plane field annealed H=10 Gs Temperature (K) resistivity decreases saturation magnetization M S increases when the samples are annealed at around 280 C (indicates that the concentration of magnetically active active Mn ions increases).
30 LT-annealing: Mn location, p and T C LT-annealing (280ºC) breaks antiferromagnetically coupled Mn I - Mn Ga pairs Mn clusters, increases p = 1x10 21 cm -3 ([Mn Ga ]-2[Mn I ]) [Mn Ga ] active spins higher T C =110K 350ºC annealing drives the system towards equilibrium random Mn precipitates and/or clusters from Mn Ga Changes observed are unlikely due to As Ga defects (stable up to 450ºC)
31 Correlation of Mn location, p and T C in Ga 1-x-y Mn x Be y As [Mn I ] and random Mn-related clusters increase with Be content. Mn I are unstable and form random clusters after LT-annealing Hole concentration relatively constant at ~5x10 20 cm -3
32 Role of interstitials in limiting (reducing) T C Electrical compensation by interstitial Mn I leads to a reduction of the hole concentration (and T C ~ p 1/3 ) Mn I donors tend to drift toward Mn III to form Mn III -Mn I pairs in III 1-x Mn x V alloys Such Mn III -Mn I pairs then couple antiferromagnetically

36 Temperature dependence of remanent magnetization of MD Ga 1-x Mn x As/Ga 1-y Al y As:Be heterostructures growth direction GaMnAs increase of T C in qualitative agreement with self-consistent calculations (Vurgaftman and Meyer) v.b. GaAlAs Magnetization (emu/cm 3 ) In-plane field B = 100 Gs T C =98 K T C =80 K T C =62 K Resistivity (10 3 Ωcm) T ρ =68 K T ρ =87 K undoped first barrier T ρ =110 K 10 second barrier Temperature (K) second barrier doped undoped first barrier doped Temperature (K) v.b. growth direction GaAlAs GaMnAs decrease of T C consistent with strong dependence of Mn I formation on Fermi energy during growth
37 Conclusions Directly identified Mn I in Ga 1-x Mn x As and In 1-x Mn x Sb thin films Mn I are responsible for creation of AF pairs and for the limiting the Curie temperature in ferromagnetic Ga 1-x Mn x As and In 1-x Mn x Sb LT- annealing drives Mn I to random clusters increase of p, of active spins, and of T C Incorporation of nonmagnetic acceptors increases concentration of Mn I and decreases T C. Counter doping with donors as a method to enhance T C. Modulation doping first experimental results that confirms our model of Fermi-energy dependent creation of Mn I
38 Bottom line Incorporation of Mn Ga (and Mn In ) and creation of Mn I results from the value of E F during the growth! This is what limits T C
