The effect of Mg codoping and its deposition mode on the Fe distribution in (Ga,Fe)N layers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy is investigated. Both homogeneously- and digitally-Mg codoped samples are considered and contrasted to the case of (Ga,Fe)N layers obtained without any codoping by shallow impurities. The structural analysis of the layers by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and by high-resolution- and synchrotron x-ray diffraction gives evidence of the fact that in the case of homogenous-Mg doping, Mg and Fe competitively occupy the Ga-substitutional cation sites, reducing the efficiency of Fe incorporation. Accordingly, the character of the magnetization is modified from ferromagnetic-like in the non-codoped films to paramagnetic in the case of homogeneous Mg codoping. The findings are discussed vis-`a-vis theoretical results obtained by ab initio computations, showing only a weak effect of codoping on the pairing energy of two Fe cations in bulk GaN. However, according to these computations, codoping reverses the sign of the paring energy of Fe cations at the Ga-rich surface, substantiating the view that the Fe aggregation occurs at the growth surface. In contrast to the homogenous deposition mode, the digital one is found to remarkably promote the aggregation of the magnetic ions. The Fe-rich nanocrystals formed in this way are distributed non-uniformly, giving reason for the observed deviation from a standard superparamagnetic behavior.

在这封信中,我们报告通过化学气相沉积直接在Al $_2$ O $_3$薄膜的空间原子层沉积生长的MoS $_2$单层的合成。合成的单分子膜的特征在于原子力显微镜以及共焦拉曼和光致发光光谱。我们的数据表明,2D材料的形态和性质根据其在基底上的位置而有很大的不同。靠近材料源,我们发现具有几百微米的边缘长度的单个薄片表现出0.3%的拉伸应变,在$n_e=0.2 \cdot 10^{13}$ cm $^{-2}$的数量级上的n掺杂和对光致发光信号的主要三价电子贡献。与此相反,我们确定了一个毫米大小的区域下游,这是由密集的,小的MoS $_2$微晶与几微米的边长下降到纳米制度和覆盖率超过70%。该纳米晶体层显示出仅<0.02%的显著降低的应变,在1.86 eV的能量下的光致发光发射具有降低的三电子贡献,并且似乎是p掺杂的,载流子密度为$n_h=0.1 \cdot 10^{13}$ cm $^{-2}$。在没有替代掺杂、后处理或使用额外化学品的情况下,在标准CVD工艺中实现的不寻常的p型掺杂可能被证明对应用有用。

考虑到Mn被Fe或Ga取代所引起的锰氧化物的无序,我们完成了在以前的论文中开始的掺杂锰氧化物的系统研究。为此,一个无序的模型制定和解决使用变分平均场技术。在所考虑的情况下,双交换、超交换和无序之间的微妙相互作用对T_C对Mn取代百分比的依赖性产生类似的影响。然而,在La $_{2/3}$ Ca $_{1/3}$ Mn $_{1-y}$ Ga $_y$ O $_3$中,我们的结果表明$y\approx 0.1-0.2$存在量子临界点(QCP),与导带电子态的局部化有关。对于La $_x$ Ca $_x$ Mn $_{1-y}$ Fe $_y$ O $_3$(含$x=1/3,3/8$),预期无此类QCP。

铁磁性对时间反演对称性的破坏将使拓扑绝缘体的电子表面态发生深刻的变化。在这里,我们报告一组协调一致的结构,磁性,电气和光谱测量\MBS薄膜,其中光电发射和X-射线磁圆二色性研究最近显示表面铁磁性的温度范围15 K $\leq T \leq 100$ K,伴随着在狄拉克点的表面态密度被抑制。二次离子质谱和扫描隧道显微镜揭示了Mn原子的不均匀分布,有向样品表面偏析的趋势。磁性测量和各向异性磁阻测量对表面研究中观察到的高温铁磁性不敏感,而是揭示了在$T \lesssim 5$ K下的低温铁磁性相。磁光克尔效应和异常霍尔效应的存在表明,这种低温铁磁性不太可能是一个均匀的体相,但可能起源于纳米尺度的近表面区域的散装在样品生长过程中分离的磁性原子。虽然样品是不理想的,无论是体积和表面的贡献,电子输运,我们测量的磁导的行为是定性一致的预测,在狄拉克光谱中的间隙的开放驱动器的量子校正拓扑绝缘体的电导从辛正交类。
