Abstract: | Local structure of Mn atoms in Ga1−xMnxAs epilayers was studied using the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) at Mn K-edge. X-ray near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques were used. XAFS spectra for different Mn sites has been calculated and compared with the experimental data. Multi-parameter fitting of the EXAFS data indicates that 15-25% of Mn atoms are in interstitial sites in the as grown films. The Mn-As bond length has been found longer than Ga-As bond length in GaAs for both substitutional (MnGa) and interstitial (MnI) sites. |
