Strain effect on electronic transport and ferromagnetic transition temperature inLa0.9Sr0.1MnO3thin films

ABSTRACTThin films of lanthanum manganates doped with Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ and Pb2+ have been deposited on Si(100) substrate and their electrical and magnetic properties were discussed with respect to the composition, structure and nature of the dopant. Buffer layers of YSZ and La0.8Al0.2O3 were employed and their effect on the materials was studied. Interesting magnetotransport properties were found in some of the films, where there is a large difference between the insulator-metal transition temperature and a ferromagnetic transition temperature.

Low Temperature Annealing

ABSTRACTIn this paper we report the effect of low temperature annealing on the high field magnetotransport properties of epitaxial thin films of (Ga, Mn)As Dilute Magnetic Semiconductor (DMS) with low concentration (1.5 %) of Mn doping, which results in a ferromagnetic insulator. Annealing at an optimal temperature enhances the conductivity, carrier concentration, and ferromagnetic transition temperature. The field dependence of magnetoresistance is different below and above the ferromagnetic transition temperature. An attempt is made to analyze the data using a theoretical model proposed by Kaminski and Das Sarma [1].

System Properties

Effects of photo-excitation and spin-wave scattering on magnetization of the diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) ( Ga , Mn ) As are theoretically studied. Green function formalism is used to find expression for magnetization and ferromagnetic transition temperature TC starting with a model Hamiltonian consisting of magnons, photons and an interaction of magnons with photons. According to our calculation, there is TC in the absence of magnetic impurity, x = 0, indicating that there could be electronically unpaired influential carriers/holes induced by photon irradiation resulting in residual itinerant band magnetization which can be revealed by experiments. Unusual upturn in magnetization near 0 K temperature values for larger magnon–photon coupling constant is also indicated. Moreover, enhancement of magnetization is established with increase in impurity concentration and even further in the presence of photon–magnon coupling which however decreases due to spin-wave scattering. This leads to the conclusion that at lower temperatures photon irradiation and at higher temperatures spin-wave scattering could affect the system properties predominantly.
