First-principles study of the magnetic properties of nitrogen-doped alkaline earth metal oxides

We present a first-principles study of the magnetic properties of N-doped MgO, CaO and SrO, which have been proposed to constitute a new class of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) with no magnetic elements. In this study, it was found that under a homogeneously distributed condition, Curie temperatures could reach room temperature at sufficient N concentrations in the range of 20–30 at.%; however, an inhomogeneous N distribution in these DMSs is the favored configuration, which indicates that spinodal decomposition leads to a room-temperature blocking temperature at smaller N concentrations than those estimated for room-temperature ferromagnetism in the homogeneous distribution condition.     

Ga vacancy induced ferromagnetism enhancement and electronic structures of RE-doped GaN

Because of their possible applications in spintronic and optoelectronic devices, GaN dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) doped by rare-earth (RE) elements have attracted much attention since the high Curie temperature was obtained in RE-doped GaN DMSs and a colossal magnetic moment was observed in the Gd-doped GaN thin film. We have systemically studied the GaN DMSs doped by RE elements (La, Ce–Yb) using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the framework of density functional theory and adding the considerations of the electronic correlation and the spin-orbital coupling effects. We have studied the electronic structures of DMSs, especially for the contribution from f electrons. The origin of magnetism, magnetic interaction and the possible mechanism of the colossal magnetic moment were explored. We found that, for materials containing f electrons, electronic correlation was usually strong and the spin–orbital coupling was sometimes crucial in determining the magnetic ground state. It was found that GaN doped by La was non-magnetic. GaN doped by Ce, Nd, Pm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Tm are stabilized at antiferromagnetic phase, while GaN doped by other RE elements show strong ferromagnetism which is suitable materials for spintronic devices. Moreover, we have identified that the observed large enhancement of magnetic moment in GaN is mainly caused by Ga vacancies (3.0μB per Ga vacancy), instead of the spin polarization by magnetic ions or originating from N vacancies. Various defects, such as substitutional Mg for Ga, O for N under the RE doping were found to bring a reduction of ferromagnetism. In addition, intermediate bands were observed in some systems of GaN:RE and GaN with intrinsic defects, which possibly opens the potential application of RE-doped semiconductors in the third generation high efficiency photovoltaic devices.     

Optical and Magnetic Properties of Fe-Doped GaN Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors Prepared by MOCVD Method

Fe-doped GaN thin films are grown on c-sapphires by metal organic chemical vapour deposition method （MOCVD） Crystalline quality and phase purity are characterized by x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. There are no detectable second phases formed during growth and no significant degradation in crystalline quality as Fe ions are doped. Fe-related optical transitions are observed in photoluminescence spectra. Magnetic measurements reveal that the films show room-temperature ferromagnetic behaviour. The ferromagnetism may originate from carrier-mediated Fe-doped GaN diluted magnetic semiconductors or nanoscale iron clusters and FeN compounds which we have not detected.     

Cu-codoping inducing the room-temperature magnetism and p-type conductivity of ZnCoO diluted magnetic semiconductor

Successful synthesis of room-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors, Cu-codoped ZnCoO films are obtained by sol-gel method. It is found that the essential ingredient in achieving room-temperature ferromagnetism is Cu-codoping. By Hall-effect measurement a p-type conductivity was observed for the Cu-codoped films, the hole concentration increases with the increase in Cu concentration. XPS result confirmed Cu ions are univalent in the films, which induced the room-temperature ferromagnetism.     

Structural, magnetic and transport properties of Ni-doped ZnO films

In this work, Ni-doped ZnO (Zn_1−xNi_xO, x=0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.11) films were prepared using magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), temperature dependence electrical resistance, Hall and magnetic measurements were utilized in order to study the properties of the Ni-doped ZnO films. XRD and XAS results indicate that all the samples have a ZnO wurtzite structure and Ni atoms incorporated into ZnO host matrix without forming any secondary phase. The Hall and electrical resistance measurements revealed that the resistivity increased by Ni doping, and all the Ni-doped ZnO films exhibited n-type semiconducting behavior. The magnetic measurements showed that for the samples with x=0.06 and 0.11 are room-temperature ferromagnetic having a saturation magnetization of 0.33 and 0.39 μ_B/Ni, respectively. The bound-magnetic-polaron mediated exchange is proposed to be the possible mechanism for the room-temperature ferromagnetism in this work.     

On the understanding of the microscopic origin of the properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors by atom probe tomography

Spintronics, in which both the spin and charge of electrons are used for logic and memory operations, promises to revolutionize the current information technology. Just as silicon supports microelectronics, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) will be the platform of spintronics. Ideal DMSs should maintain ferromagnetic and semiconducting properties at operating temperatures to realize the spintronic functions. Although many high-temperature Curie temperature DMSs have been reported, the origin of ferromagnetism remains controversial. Currently, this is a major obstacle to the development of spintronic devices. The solution to this problem depends on a more complete understanding of DMS microstructure, especially the distribution of doped magnetic ions at atomic resolution and any defects introduced. Therefore, an analysis technique is required, possessing both high spatial and elemental resolutions, which is beyond the capability of conventional techniques, such as electron microscopy. However, atom probe tomography (APT), which recently has been successfully applied to nanoscale characterization of structural materials, has the potential to provide the unique combination of near atomic spatial and elemental resolutions needed for such an investigation.
