Abstract
Ferromagnetic GaMnAs containing up to 10% Mn has been grown by migration-enhanced epitaxy at a substrate temperature of 150 °C. The lattice constant of hypothetical zinc-blende structure MnAs is determined to be 5.90 Å, which deviates somewhat from previously reported values. This deviation is ascribed to growth-condition-dependent density of point defects. Magnetization measurements showed an onset of ferromagnetic ordering around 75 K for the GaMnAs layer with 10% Mn. This means that the trend of falling Curie temperatures with increasing Mn concentrations above 5.3% is broken.
