含磁性杂质半导体中磁势涨落引起的金属-绝缘体转变

Metal-insulator transition induced by fluctuations of the magnetic potential in semiconductors with magnetic impurities

E. Z. Meilikhov, R. M. Farzetdinova

摘要:

本文研究了含磁性杂质的半导体在降温过程中发生的金属-绝缘体相变。与通常认为的渗流过渡在不均匀介质中的波动\emph{electric}电位的电荷载流子的本地化引起的,研究的过渡与他们的本地化磁化杂质产生的波动\emph{magnetic}电位(更准确地说-在组合的波动电位)。当降低温度时,半导体中的磁性杂质的磁化强度变得更高,并且即使在电势的恒定(与温度无关)幅度下,总电势的磁性分量也增加。随着涨落幅度的增加,载流子的费米能级越来越深地下沉到态密度的增长尾部,直到它下降到逾渗能级以下。为此,总势能的波动必须达到某个临界值。在达到该值时,发生从金属导电性到激活导电性的转变(金属-绝缘体转变)。

英文摘要:

We investigate the metal-insulator transition occurring in semiconductors with magnetic impurities when lowering temperature. In contrast to the usually considered percolation transition in the non-uniform medium induced by the localization of charge carriers in the fluctuating \emph{electric} potential, the studied transition is connected with their localization in the fluctuating \emph{magnetic} potential produced by magnetized impurities (more accurately - in the combined fluctuating potential). When decreasing temperature, the magnetization of magnetic impurities in the semiconductor becomes higher and even at the invariable (temperature independent) amplitude of the electric potential, the magnetic component of the total potential increases. With increasing fluctuation amplitude, the Fermi level of charge carriers sinks deeper and deeper into the growing tail of density of states until it falls under the percolation level. For that, fluctuations of the total potential have to run up to some critical value. On reaching that value, the transition occurs from the metal conductivity to the activation one (the metal-insulator transition).
