Abstract

ABSTRACTEpitaxial growth of the ferromagnetic semiconductors GaMnP:C and GaMnN has been investigated by Gas Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (GSMBE). GaMnP:C films grown with 9.4% Mn are found to be p-type with hysteretic behavior to room temperature. GaMnN films grown at 700 °C with 2.8% Mn show hysteresis at 300 K, while temperature-dependent magnetization measurements indicate that the magnetism may persist to much higher temperatures (> 325 K). Samples of AlGaMnN have also been prepared for the first time that show improved surface morphology compared to GaMnN but which show only paramagnetic behavior.
