Mn掺杂的ZnS(001)表面的电子态特性

利用第一性原理计算Mn在ZnS(001)表面上几种掺杂位置的形成能、局域分波态密度和磁矩.对Mn在ZnS(001)表面上的三种位置的形成能进行比较,得到两种填隙位置是非常稳定的掺杂位置.分析ZnS(001):Mn各种再构表面的电子态密度和电荷密度分布.结果表明,三种表面模型中,自旋向上的Mn原子的3d态和近邻S原子的3p态都有一定的杂化,并且替代掺杂的Mn和邻近S原子的p-d杂化最明显,形成的共价键最强.而自旋向下的Mn原子的3d态比较局域,受S原子的3p态影响较小.计算了三种掺杂表面的磁矩,并分析计算结果.     

F原子吸附TiO_2:Mn(001)稀磁半导体薄膜电子结构和磁性的第一性原理计算

利用第一性原理方法计算Mn离子掺杂纯净TiO2(001)和F原子吸附的TiO2(001)薄膜的形成能、态密度和磁矩.F原子吸附明显降低TiO2∶Mn薄膜体系的形成能.F原子的吸附导致Mn离子的磁矩减小,而表面O原子的磁矩增大.表面O原子的磁矩主要来源于O原子p x和p y轨道的自旋极化,研究表明表面吸附F原子更有利于Mn离子的掺杂,在一定程度上有利于获得结构稳定的铁磁态半金属特性的TiO2∶Mn薄膜.     

3d过渡金属原子单层在Pd(001)表面磁性的第一性原理研究

用第一性原理基础上的超软赝势方法的总能计算，研究了3d过渡金属(Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)在Pd(001)表面的单层p(1×1)和c(2×2)结构的表面磁性和总能. 所得结果表明：对于Sc, Ti, V和Cr只存在p(1×1)的铁磁性结构，而Mn只有c(2×2)的反铁磁结构存在. Fe, Co和Ni这三种元素上述两种结构都存在，但是总能上p(1×1)的铁磁结构要低些，因此是比较稳定的结构. 而Cu和Zn在该表面上的单层中不存在上述两种结构. 对于V的p(1×1)铁磁结构，计算得到的每个V原子磁矩为2.41μ_B，大于用全电子方法得到的0.51μ_B. 两种计算方法得到其他金属原子 (Cr，Mn，Fe，Co，Ni)的表面磁矩比较相近，都比孤立原子磁矩略小. 关键词： Pd(001)表面 过渡金属原子单层 表面磁性     

CrO_2块体及其(001)和(100)表面的电子结构和磁性质

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,我们研究了CrO_2块体以及其(100)和(001)表面的磁性和电子结构.CrO_2(100)表面中表面层Cr原子向内收缩,而(001)表面中的表面层Cr原子却向外伸展;越往内层,原子驰豫幅度越小.由于表面效应.表面层原子的磁矩有了大幅的提升,其中(100)表面中表面层Cr原子的磁矩最高,为3.03μB.电子结构计算表明,CrO_2(100)和(001)表面均保持了块体中良好的半金属性,并且半金属带隙在(100)表面中受到了进一步的拓宽,因此具有更稳定的半金属性     

面心立方单晶镍纳米线稳定性及磁性的第一性原理计算

本文采用第一性原理方法,研究了轴向为低指数晶向的面心立方(fcc)单晶镍纳米线的稳定性和磁性.计算表明,[110] 是fcc镍纳米线最容易出现的取向,[111] 取向次之,而 [001] 取向则很难出现,这一结果与实验事实符合.镍纳米线按照原子位置和磁性强弱的不同,可以分成简单的芯-壳结构,在纳米线芯部,原子的磁矩大小与块体基本一致.在纳米线表面,镍原子的磁矩比芯部原子有所增加.表面原子磁矩与轴向的取向相关,[110] 为轴向的纳米线表面原子磁矩最低,而[001] 为轴向的纳米线表面原子磁矩最高. 关键词： 镍 纳米线 第一性原理 原子磁矩     

Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性

采用基于密度泛函理论的第-性原理方法,研究Mn掺杂ZnS(110)表面的电子结构和磁性.计算分析不同掺杂组态的几何参数、形成能、磁矩、电子态密度以及电荷密度.结果表明:单个Mn原子掺杂,替位于表面第二层的Zn原子时体系形成能最低,说明该层是最稳定的掺杂位置.对于两个Mn原子的掺杂,当Mn与Mn之间呈反铁磁耦合时体系最稳定.体系的总磁矩和自由Mn原子的磁矩差别很小,但是Mn原子的局域磁矩却依赖于Mn原子的3d态和近邻S原子的3p态的杂化作用,即受周围S原子环境的变化影响较大.此外,分析电荷密度图得出Mn原子替换Zn原子后与S原子形成了更强的共价键.

TM掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族稀磁半导体电磁性质的第一原理计算

使用基于自旋局域密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法对3d过渡金属(TM=V，Cr，Mn，Fe，Co和Ni)掺杂的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体(GaAs和GaP)的电磁性质进行了计算.结果发现：用V，Cr和Mn掺杂时体系将出现铁磁状态，而Fe掺杂时将出现反铁磁状态，Co和Ni掺杂时，其磁性则不稳定.其中，Cr掺杂的GaAs和GaP将可能是具有较高居里温度的稀磁半导体(DMS).在这些DMS系统中，V离子的磁矩大于理论期待值，Fe，Co和Ni离子的磁矩小于理论期待值，Cr和Mn离子的磁矩与期待值的差距取决于晶体的对称性以及磁性离子的能带分布.此外，使用Si和Mn共同对Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体进行掺杂，将有利于DMS表现为铁磁状态，并可以使体系的T_C进一步提高. 关键词： 稀磁半导体 过渡金属 掺杂 共掺杂

利用同步辐射光电子能谱,研究了室温下在GaAs(100)表面上淀积的Mn的超薄膜的电子结构.实验发现,在θ<2ML的覆盖度下,Mn3d电子的能量态密度分布与体金属α-Mn差别很大当θ>2ML之后,便逐步接近α-Mn的体电子结构.这一结果可由Mn3d电子的自旋向上带和自旋向下带的交换分裂很好地解释.由此推断,当覆盖度θ<2ML时,在GaAs(100)表面上淀积的Mn的超薄膜具有磁有序结构 关键词：     

Chern number spins of Mn acceptor magnets in GaAs

We determine the effective total spin J of local moments formed from acceptor states bound to Mn ions in GaAs by evaluating their magnetic Chern numbers. When individual Mn atoms are close to the sample surface, the total spin changes from J=1 to J=2, due to quenching of the acceptor orbital moment. For Mn pairs in bulk, the total J depends on pair orientation in the GaAs lattice and on the separation between the Mn atoms. We point out that Berry curvature variation as a function of local moment orientation can profoundly influence the quantum-spin dynamics of these magnetic entities.     

Local electronic structure and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal doped GaAs

The local electronic structure and magnetic properties of GaAs doped with 3d transition metal (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) were studied by using discrete variational method (DVM) based on density functional theory. The calculated result indicated that the magnetic moment of transition metal increases first and then decreases, and reaches the maximum value when Mn is doped into GaAs. In the case of Mn concentration of 1.4%, the magnetic moment of Mn is in good agreement with the experimental result. The coupling between impure atoms in the system with two impure atoms was found to have obvious variation. For different transition metal, the coupling between the impure atom and the nearest neighbor As also has different variation.

Magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)N ternaries and structural,electronic, and magnetic properties of cation-mixed (Ga,Mn)(As,N) and (In,Mn)(As,N) quaternaries

ABINIT simulation package with built in local density, generalized gradient, and spin local density approximations was used to investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of cation mixed (Ga,Mn)(As,N) and (In,Mn)(As,N) quaternaries with equal and fixed compositions of Ga, In, and Mn atoms. In particular, total energy minimization approach was used to compute the equilibrium structural parameters of zinc-blende (GaAs, InAs, and MnAs), wurtzite (GaN, InN, and MnN) binary parent compounds, as well as, the corresponding equilibrium parameters of (Ga,Mn)(As,N) and (In,Mn)(As,N) quaternary systems. The band structures of zinc-blende GaAs, InAs, and MnAs binary parent compounds were computed and analyzed. Spin polarized band structures of the cation mixed (Ga,Mn)(As,N) and (In,Mn)(As,N) quaternaries with equal compositions of Ga, In, and Mn cations were computed and analyzed using spin local density approximation based calculations. Moreover, the magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)(As,N) and (In,Mn)(As,N) quaternaries with equal concentration of Ga, In, and Mn cations were investigated. Our results suggest that the two quaternary systems are nonmagnetic. An interpretation of our results is presented. In addition, the magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)N nanocrystal ternaries constructed from doping GaN with one or two Mn atoms were investigated using Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) and compared with those of (Ga,Mn)(As,N) quaternaries.     

(Ga,Mn)As 体系中Mn自补偿效应的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的赝势平面波方法计算了处于填隙位置磁性原子(MnI)对(Ga,Mn) As体系电子结构和磁性的影响. 计算结果表明MnI在GaAs中是施主；代替Ga位的MnGa 与MnI的自旋按反铁磁序排列；静电相互作用使MnGa，MnI倾向于形成MnGa_MnI对. MnI的存在一方面补偿了(Ga,Mn)As中的空穴，降低了空穴浓度；同时还使邻近的MnG a失活. MnI的存在对获得高居里温度的(Ga,Mn)As是极为不利的. 关键词： (Ga Mn)As 稀磁半导体 密度泛函理论     

Role of disorder in Mn:GaAs, Cr:GaAs, and Cr:GaN

We present calculations of magnetic exchange interactions and critical temperature T(c) in Ga1-xMnxAs, Ga1-xCrxAs, and Ga1-xCrxN. The local spin-density approximation is combined with a linear-response technique to map the magnetic energy onto a Heisenberg Hamiltonion, but no significant further approximations are made. We show the following: (i) configurational disorder results in large dispersions in the pairwise exchange interactions; (ii) the disorder strongly reduces T(c); (iii) clustering in the magnetic atoms, whose tendency is predicted from total-energy considerations, further reduces T(c), while ordering the dopants on a lattice increases it. With all the factors taken into account, T(c) is reasonably predicted by the local spin-density approximation in Mn:GaAs without the need to invoke compensation by donor impurities.     

High temperature ferromagnetism in GaAs-based heterostructures with Mn delta doping

We show that suitably designed magnetic semiconductor heterostructures consisting of Mn delta (delta)-doped GaAs and p-type AlGaAs layers, in which the locally high concentration of magnetic moments of Mn atoms are controllably overlapped with the two-dimensional hole gas wave function, realized remarkably high ferromagnetic transition temperatures (T(C)). A significant reduction of compensative Mn interstitials by varying the growth sequence of the structures followed by low-temperature annealing led to high T(C) up to 250 K. The heterostructure with high T(C) exhibited peculiar anomalous Hall effect behavior, whose sign depends on temperature.

Heterostructures with InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots doped by transition elements. Part I: Photoluminescence properties

The optical properties of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot heterostructures that are doped by manganese and chromium during growth by Metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy have been studied. Surface topography photoluminescence spectra measurements have demonstrated the possibility of controlling the spectral characteristics of the structure by varying quantum well growth conditions and sizes in the presence of impurity atoms. Research results are explained by the peculiarities of InAs nanoclusters formation on the GaAs surface in the presence of Mn and Cr atoms.     

Formation of clusters and the magnetooptical Kerr effect in gallium arsenide implanted with manganese ions

The surface morphology and magnetic properties of GaAs irradiated by manganese ions are studied at room temperature using atomic-force microscopy and the magnetooptical Kerr effect. It is shown that ferromagnetism takes place in the surface layer of the irradiated semiconductor subjected to annealing at 715–750°C. The magnetic properties of this layer are related to the evolution of submicron clusters in GaAs doped with Mn.
