Abstract
In this work, geometric structures for ferromagnetic nanoscale zinc-blende MnAs dots grown on a sulfur-passivated GaAs(001) were investigated by using fluorescence EXAFS measurement. EXAFS measurements revealed that MnAs dots grown on GaAs(001) substrate did not form NiAs-type structure but zinc-blende structure. The MnAs bond length in the MnAs dots is about 2.48 Å which is close to that which was estimated from lattice constant of zinc-blende MnAs obtained by density-functional calculations. Existence of zinc-blende MnS (β-MnS) phase was also observed by EXAFS measurements.
