一类新的高居里温度铁磁半导体

A new class of ferromagnetic semiconductors with high Curie temperatures

摘要:

铁磁半导体具有半导体和铁磁体的性质和功能,为凝聚态物理的基础研究和器件应用提供了诱人的机会。然而,在过去的二十年中,受有影响力的平均场齐纳(MFZ)模型的启发,对各种FMS材料的深入研究未能实现具有高居里温度(Tc > 300 K)、与半导体电子学的良好兼容性以及优于其非磁性主体半导体的特性的可靠FMS。在这里,我们展示了一种新的n型Fe掺杂窄隙III-V FMS,(In,Fe)Sb,其中铁磁顺序是由电子载流子引起的,并且其Tc出乎意料地高,在适度的Fe浓度为16%时达到~335 K。此外,我们表明,通过利用大的异常霍尔效应的(In,Fe)Sb在室温下,它是可能的,以获得一个非常高的灵敏度,超过了最好的市售InSb霍尔传感器设备的霍尔传感器。我们的研究结果揭示了一个新的设计规则的FMS,是不期望从传统的MFZ模型。(This在JSAP春季会议上展示了工作,展示编号E15 a-501-2:https://confit.atlas.jp/guide/event/jsap2017s/subject/15a-501-2/advanced)

英文摘要:

Ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMSs), which have the properties and functionalities of both semiconductors and ferromagnets, provide fascinating opportunities for basic research in condensed matter physics and device applications. Over the past two decades, however, intensive studies on various FMS materials, inspired by the influential mean-field Zener (MFZ) model have failed to realise reliable FMSs that have a high Curie temperature (Tc > 300 K), good compatibility with semiconductor electronics, and characteristics superior to those of their non-magnetic host semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate a new n type Fe-doped narrow-gap III-V FMS, (In,Fe)Sb, in which ferromagnetic order is induced by electron carriers, and its Tc is unexpectedly high, reaching ~335 K at a modest Fe concentration of 16%. Furthermore, we show that by utilizing the large anomalous Hall effect of (In,Fe)Sb at room temperature, it is possible to obtain a Hall sensor with a very high sensitivity that surpasses that of the best commercially available InSb Hall sensor devices. Our results reveal a new design rule of FMSs that is not expected from the conventional MFZ model.
