Abstract: | GaCrN nanorods were grown on GaN nanorods by RF-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. GaN nanorods were grown on Si (0 0 1) substrates with native SiO2. Cr doping into GaCrN nanorods was conducted at substrate temperatures of 800 and 550 °C. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the diameter of GaCrN nanorod gradually increases with growth proceeding at 550 °C, while the growth at 800 °C does not change the nanorod diameter. Low-temperature growth enhances the growth perpendicular to the c-axis and decreases the growth along the c-axis. It was found that the solubility limit of Cr atoms in GaCrN is much higher for the low-temperature growth than for the high-temperature growth. It was also found that the highest saturation magnetization is obtained at some optimum Cr cell temperature. |
