摘要:

我们在InAs量子点的周期性阵列上制备了Ga0.95Mn0.05As薄膜。X射线衍射揭示了周期性的应变膜,相当于基板的图案。点在GaMnAs中产生拉伸应变,而点之间的应变是压缩的。我们的实验证实,在薄膜中的平均拉伸应变增加,减少点分离。应变的这种趋势是伴随着从应变和磁各向异性在GaMnAs膜之间建立的关系熟悉的面外磁化分量的增加。我们的工作为在纳米尺度上控制GaMnAs的磁晶各向异性提供了一条新的途径。

英文摘要:

We prepared Ga0.95Mn0.05As films on top of periodic arrays of InAs quantum dots. X-ray diffraction reveals periodically strained films, commensurate to substrate's patterning. The dots produce a tensile strain in GaMnAs while between the dots strain is compressive. Our experiments confirm that the average tensile strain in the film increases with decreasing dots separation. This trend in strain is accompanied by an increase of the out-of-plane magnetization component familiar from the established relation between strain and magnetic anisotropy in GaMnAs films. Our work provides a new route for controlling magneto-crystalline anisotropies in GaMnAs on a nanometer scale.
