AbstractIn this letter, we investigated the correlation between as-grown surface morphologies and Mn compositions of Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers - a III-V diluted magnetic semiconductor - grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers were grown at 595 °C from 50 % Ga + 50 % Bi mixed solvent. The grown layers were characterized by energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS) and atomic forced microscopy (AFM). The Mn composition measured by EDS after growth process was varied from 1 to 7 %. As increasing Mn composition surface morphologies of as-grown Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers were varied. At higher Mn compositions, the morphology of the surface layers degrades strongly, preventing removal of the solution-melt from it. Key words: LPE, as-grown, surface morphology, Mn composition, Ga1-xMnxAs, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS), atomic forced microscopy (AFM).

Diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-xMnxO crystals were synthesized at 430°C for 24h by hydrothermal method. 3mol·L-1KOH was used as the mineralizer, and the fill factor is 35%. The obtained crystals show a ZnO wurtzite structure, with positive polar faces{0001}, negative polar faces{000 },pfaces{ 011} and–pfaces { 01 } exposed. The height of the crystal is 5-30 m and radius-height ratio is2:1. Mn atom concentration of 2. 6% (x=0.026) was determined using X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy ( EDS). The crystals show low-temperature ferromagnetism with Curie temperature of 50K.

Diluted magnetic semiconductorCu2FeSnS4nanocrystals with a novel zincblende structure have been successfully synthesized by a hot-injection approach. Cu+, Fe2+, and Sn4+ions occupy the same position in the zincblende unit cell, and their occupancy possibilities are 1/2, 1/4, and 1/4, respectively. The nanocrystals were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy. The nanocrystals have an average size of 7.5 nm and a band gap of 1.1 eV and show a weak ferromagnetic behavior at low temperature.

ZnO semiconductor doped with a few per cent of some transition metal ions can exhibit above room temperature ferromagnetism, transforming it into a very promising candidate for future spin-electronic applications. In the present article we have compared the electronic structure of two polycrystalline ZnMnO pellets doped with diluted Mn concentration (2% and 4%), carefully characterized by SQUID and XRD, including Rietveld refinement. The characterization measurements established that the samples have the ZnO lattice with ZnS type Wurtzite hexagonal symmetry and no detectable impurities. The samples exhibit distinctly different magnetic properties. The 2% sample displayed a clear FM ordering at 300 K while the 4% sample did not show any ordering down to 5K. The electronic structure of these two samples has been investigated using Mn L23 x-ray absorption spectroscopy, Zn 2p and 3p, Mn 3p and O 1s x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Our aim was to find out how the changes in the electronic structure can correlate to the observed magnetic properties in such diluted magnetic semiconductor materials. The results show that most of the Mn ions of the ferromagnetic sample are in the divalent state. For the higher Mn percent nonmagnetic sample, a larger contribution of higher oxidation Mn states are dominant and the oxygen content also increases. The two factors can be correlated to the suppressed ferromagnetism, though it is hard to pinpoint that which of these two weighs more in the suppression mechanism.

Bulk polycrystalline MnGexSby materials doped with Co or Fe were prepared and investigated with the aim of obtaining new diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) materials. An innovative preparation method was also established. Investigation techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) associated with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) have been employed to derive the structural properties and the composition of the bulk material.

Zn1-xCoxO (0 < x < 14.6) diluted magnetic semiconductor coatings have been obtained by reactive DC magnetron sputtering of metallic Zn and Co targets at high pressure and high temperature. The coatings structural properties have been investigated by X-ray diffraction. All as-deposited coatings are crystalized in ZnO structure and neither traces of metallic nor oxide Co-rich clusters were detected in the films. The temperature dependence of the magnetization shows a paramagnetic Curie-Weiss behavior with antiferromagnetic interaction due to the associated spins and simple paramagnetic curie behavior of isolated free spins.

The local environments of Co and Zn dopants in SnO2, a diluted magnetic semiconductor system, are studied using X-ray spectroscopy and crystal field calculations, yielding evidence that the ferromagnetism is mediated by oxygen vacancies.
