Abstract

α - and β-FeSe thin films were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Compared to the other parameters, the growth temperature shows decisive influence on the phase transition of the FeSe samples. In temperature-dependent electrical measurements, n-type to p-type reversion was observed for both the α- or and β-FeSe samples. Furthermore, the p-type character of the films becomes more and more obvious with increasing the Se∕Fe atomic ratio in the samples. Ferromagnetism was observed in the α-FeSe films although which is not supported by calculation on density of states. The ferromagnetic character shows significant dependence on Se∕Fe atomic ratio in the films and was attributed to the Fe vacancies or Fe clusters in the α-FeSe thin films. The magnetic domain and hysteresis loop of the β-FeSe thin films are also studied.
