Zn1-xMnxS(001)稀磁半导体薄膜的能量稳定性、磁性和电子结构

通过基于广义梯度近似的总能密度泛函理论研究不同Mn掺杂浓度的ZnS(001)薄膜的电学和磁学特性. 计算单个Mn原子和两个Mn原子处于各种掺杂位置及不同的磁耦合状态时的能量稳定性.计算了单个Mn原子掺杂和两个Mn原子掺杂的ZnS(001)薄膜的态密度. 不同掺杂组态的p-d杂化的程度不同. 不同掺杂组态,Mn原子所处的晶场环境不同,所以不同掺杂组态的Mn的3d分波态密度峰的劈裂有很大的不同. 掺杂两个Mn原子时,得到三种稳定组态的基态都是反铁磁态. 分析了以上三种能量稳定的组态中,两个Mn原子在不同磁耦合状态下的3d态密度图. 当两原子为铁磁耦合时,由于d-d电子相互作用,使反键态的态密度峰明显加宽. 随着Mn掺杂浓度的增加,Mn原子有相互靠近,并围绕S原子形成団簇的趋势. 对于这样的组态,Mn原子之间为反铁磁耦合能量更低.

采用电泳沉积法在FTO导电玻璃基片上制备Zn_1-xCu_xO薄膜,并对其微观结构、光致发光谱、伏安特性、保持特性和转换电压分布进行探讨。PL谱表明,Cu掺杂在禁带中引入深受主能级,降低氧空位浓度,导致ZnO薄膜的紫外发光、蓝光发光和绿光发光峰强度降低。所得薄膜的晶粒细小、致密、均匀,具有稳定的双极性阻变特性,开关比R_off/R_on最高达到10⁵,其低阻态（LRS）和高阻态（HRS）的阻变机理分别符合欧姆定律和空间电荷限制传导理论。器件经100次循环测试后开关比无明显变化,呈现出较为良好的抗疲劳特性。Cu掺杂对LRS影响不大,但显著改善了HRS的分散性以及转换电压V_SET的分散性。当Cu掺杂量x=0.04时,器件表现出良好的综合性能：R_off≈10⁶ Ω,R_off/R_on≈10⁴,V_SET介于0.4~3.03 V之间。     

金属有机化学气相沉积生长Zn1-xMnxSe薄膜的发光和磁光性质

利用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)方法在GaAs衬底上生长了不同组分的Zn_1-xMn_xSe薄膜。X射线衍射和X射线摇摆曲线证明样品具有较好的结晶质量。在低温、强磁场下对样品的发光进行了研究,在带边附近观察到两个发光峰的相对强度随着磁场增强发生了变化。通过变温光谱探讨了这两个发光峰的来源,并被分别归因于自由激子跃迁和与Mn有关的束缚态激子跃迁。同时随着磁场的增强,ZnMnSe带隙发光红移是由于类S带和类P带电子与Mn离子的3d⁵电子的自旋交换作用。

The electrical transport behavior of Zn-treated Zn1-xMnxO bulks

Zn1-xMnxO bulks have been prepared by the solid state reaction method. Zn vapor treatment has been carried out to adjust the carrier concentration. For the Zn treated Zn1-xMnxO bulks, analysis of the temperature dependence of resistance and the field dependence of magnetoresistance demonstrates that the bound magnetic polarons (BMPs) play an important role in the electrical transport behavior. The hopping of BMPs dominates the electrical conduction behavior when temperature is below 170 K. At low temperature,paramagnetic Zn1-xMnxO bulks show a large magnetoresistance effect,which indicates that the large magnetoresistance effect in transition-metal doped ZnO dilute magnetic semiconductors is independent of their magnetic states.     

Room-temperature ferromagnetism in Zn1−xMnxO

In view of recent controversies on above room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) in transition-metal-doped ZnO, the present paper aims to shed some light on the origin of ferromagnetism by investigating annealing effects on structure and magnetism for polycrystalline Zn_1−xMn_xO powder samples prepared by solid-state reaction method and annealed in air at different temperatures. Magnetic measurements indicate that the samples are ferromagnetic at room temperature (RTFM). Room temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in the sample annealed at a low temperature of 500 °C with a saturated magnetization (M_s) of 0.159 emu/g and a coercive force of 89 Oe. A reduction in RTFM is clearly observed in the sample annealed at 600 °C. Furthermore, the saturation magnetic moment decreases with an increase in grain size, suggesting that ferromagnetism is due to defects and/or oxygen vacancy confined to the surface of the grains. The experimental results indicate that the ferromagnetism observed in Zn_1−xMn_xO samples is intrinsic rather than associated with secondary phases.     

Magnetic properties of single crystalline Zn1−xCoxO thin films

We report on the magnetic properties of single crystalline thin films of Zn_1−xCo_xO (x=0.003–0.14) grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. In order to understand the role of intermediate charge carriers in the magnetic properties of this material two types of films were fabricated, with and without Ga-codoping. Magnetic measurements were made between 2 and 300 K in fields up to 5 T with a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer. We found that all the tested films exhibit paramagnetic behavior following the Curie–Weiss law, χ=C/(T−θ), with negative Curie–Weiss temperatures and that this behavior holds even under strong n-doping. We show that the magnetization data, M(H), in function of the Co content provide additional evidence in favor of the antiferromagnetic Co–Co interaction in this material. We also observe that these data exhibit an ‘easy plane’ magnetic anisotropy for all the studied Co concentrations. Finally, we develop a simple cluster model, in order to describe the magnetic properties of ZnCoO, which is found to be in good agreement with our experiments.     

Magnetic properties of Zn0.9(Mn0.05,Ni0.05)O nanoparticle: Experimental and theoretical investigation

The crystalline and magnetic properties of 5% Mn and 5% Ni co-doped nanocrystalline ZnO particles, obtained by the co-precipitation method, are performed. X-ray diffraction data revealed that Zn_0.90Mn_0.05Ni_0.05O crystallizes in the monophasic wurtzite structure. DC magnetization measurement showed that the samples are paramagnetic at room temperature. However, a large increase in the magnetization is observed below 50 K. This behavior, along with the negative value of Weiss constant obtained from the linear fit of magnetic susceptibility data below room temperature, indicates ferrimagnetic behavior. The ferrimagnetic properties observed at low temperature are explained and confirmed from ab-initio calculations using the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker method combined with the coherent potential approximation.     

Growth temperature dependent evolutions of microstructural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn0.75Co0.25O films

Zn0.75Co0.25O films are fabricated via reactive electron beam evaporation. The influence of growth temperature on the microstructural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn0.75Co0.25O films is investigated by using x-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, high resolution transmitting electron microscope, photoluminescence （PL）, field dependent and temperature dependent DC magnetization, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. It is shown that Zn0.75Co0.25O films grown at low temperatures （250-350℃） are of single-phase wurtzite structure. Films synthesized at 300 or 350℃ reveal room temperature （RT） ferromagnetism （FM）, while su for 250℃ fabricated films is found above 56 K. PL and XPS investigations show favour towards the perspective that the O-vacancy induced spin-split impurity band mechanism is responsible for the formation of RT FM of Zn0.75Co0.25O film, while the superparamagnetism of 250℃ fabricated film is attributed to the small size effect of nanoparticles in Zn0.75Co0.25O film.     

Comparative studies on Zn0.95Co0.05O thin films on C- and R-sapphire substrates

Zn0.95Co0.05 O precipitate-free single crystal thin films were synthesized by a dual beam pulsed laser deposition method.The films form a wurtzite structure whose hexagonal axis is perpendicular or parallel to the plane of the surface depending on the C-plane (0001) or R-plane (11 ˉ 20) sapphire substrate.Based on the results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction,C-plane films show larger lattice mismatch.The films exhibit magnetic and semiconductor properties at room temperature.The coercivity of the film is about 8000 A/m at room temperature.They are soft magnetic materials with small remanent squareness S for both crystal orientations.There is no evidence to show that the anisotropy is fixed to the hexagonal axis (C-axis) for the wurtzite structure.     

First-principles study of electronic and optical properties in wurtzite Zn1-xCuxO

We perform a first-principles simulation to study the electronic and optical properties of wurtzite Zn1 xCuxO.The simulations are based upon the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof form of generalised gradient approximation within the density functional theory.Calculations are carried out in different concentrations.With increasing Cu concentration,the band gap of Zn1 xCuxO decreases due to the shift of valence band.The imaginary part of the dielectric function indicates that the optical transition between O 2p states in the highest valence band and Zn 4s states in the lowest conduction band shifts to the low energy range as the Cu concentration increases.Besides,it is shown that the insertion of Cu atom leads to redshift of the optical absorption edge.Meanwhile,the optical constants of pure ZnO and Zn0.75Cu0.25O,such as loss function,refractive index and reflectivity,are discussed.     

High temperature susceptibility of semimagnetic-semiconductor Zn1-xMnxS

This paper gives an analysis of the high temperature susceptibility of diluted semimagnetic-semiconductor Zn_{1 − x}Mn_xS. The high-temperature susceptibility of Zn_{1 − x}Mn_xS was found to behave in accordance with the Curie-Weiss law. From _χ(T) measurements the exchange integral of Mn²⁺ -Mn²⁺ interaction 2J₁/k_B = (-34.6±0.5) K (effective exchange integral) was obtained. A spin S = 2.6±0.1, close to its atomic value S = , was also found. The role of the superexchange in this alloy is shortly discussed at the end of the paper.     

Magnetization and exchange constants in Zn1−xMnxSe

Magnetization of Zn_1?xMn_xSe ($\text{x}\text{≤ 0.1}$) was measured for magnetic field up to $\text{B}\text{= 15}\text{T}$ in the temperature range 2.2 – 30 K. The obtained data were described by Brillouin-like function. The direct comparison of magnetization data with the previous magnetooptical data enabled us to determine the s-d exchange constants in $\text{Zn}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1?</mtext><mtext>x</mtext>}}\text{Mn}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{Se}\text{:}\text{N}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>o</mtext>}}\text{α = 0.26}\text{eV}$, $\text{N}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>o</mtext>}}\text{β = ?1.31}\text{eV}$.
