GaAs表面过渡金属受体态波函数的映射

Mapping the wavefunction of transition metal acceptor states in the GaAs surface

Anthony Richardella, Dale Kitchen, Ali Yazdani

摘要:

我们利用单原子替代技术与扫描隧道显微镜(STM)中的光谱成像可视化的磁性和非磁性过渡金属受体态在GaAs(110)表面的各向异性空间结构。缺陷态的性质在半导体的性质中起着关键作用,状态的局部化影响诸如金属-绝缘体转变的开始,以及在稀磁半导体中导致铁磁性出现的磁相互作用的机制和强度。我们研究了GaAs表面中的这些状态,发现Mn、Fe、Co和Zn掺杂剂的受主状态波函数的形状之间的显著相似性,其由GaAs主体确定并且通常通过体GaAs中Mn的紧束缚计算再现[Tang,J.M. & Flatte,M.E.,物理修订信函92,047201(2004)]。的相似性源于受体状态的反键性质,所产生的杂质d-能级与主机的杂交。第二个更深的间隙状态也观察到Fe和Co,可以解释的对称性破缺的表面。

英文摘要:

We utilize a single atom substitution technique with spectroscopic imaging in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to visualize the anisotropic spatial structure of magnetic and non-magnetic transition metal acceptor states in the GaAs (110) surface. The character of the defect states play a critical role in the properties of the semiconductor, the localization of the states influencing such things as the onset of the metal-insulator transition, and in dilute magnetic semiconductors the mechanism and strength of magnetic interactions that lead to the emergence of ferromagnetism. We study these states in the GaAs surface finding remarkable similarities between the shape of the acceptor state wavefunction for Mn, Fe, Co and Zn dopants, which is determined by the GaAs host and is generally reproduced by tight binding calculations of Mn in bulk GaAs [Tang, J.M. & Flatte, M.E., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 047201 (2004)]. The similarities originate from the antibonding nature of the acceptor states that arise from the hybridization of the impurity d-levels with the host. A second deeper in-gap state is also observed for Fe and Co that can be explained by the symmetry breaking of the surface.
