摘要:

(Ga由于当Fe浓度$_{1-x}$等于或高于~0.20时,其居里温度($_x$)高于300 K,因此Sb是用于自旋电子器件应用的有前景的铁磁半导体之一。然而,(Ga,Fe)Sb中高$T_{\rm C}$的来源仍有待阐明。为了解决这个问题,我们使用共振光电子能谱(RPES)和第一性原理计算研究$x$依赖的Fe 3 $d$状态(Ga $_{1-x}$,Fe $_x$)Sb($x$ = 0.05,0.15,和0.25)薄膜。Fe 2 $p$-3 $d$的RPES谱表明,随着$x$的增加,Fe-3 $d$杂质带(IB)越过费米能级越宽,这与双交换作用的图象定性一致.通过对Fe-3 $d$偏态密度的计算与第一性原理计算结果的比较表明,Fe-3 $d$ IB是由少数自旋($\downarrow$)$e$态产生的.结果表明,随着$x$的增加,$e_\downarrow$电子间的相互作用增强是(Ga,Fe)Sb中高$T_{\rm C}$的来源.

英文摘要:

(Ga$_{1-x}$,Fe$_x$)Sb is one of the promising ferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronic device applications because its Curie temperature ($T_{\rm C}$) is above 300 K when the Fe concentration $x$ is equal to or higher than ~0.20. However, the origin of the high $T_{\rm C}$ in (Ga,Fe)Sb remains to be elucidated. To address this issue, we use resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RPES) and first-principles calculations to investigate the $x$ dependence of the Fe 3$d$ states in (Ga$_{1-x}$,Fe$_x$)Sb ($x$ = 0.05, 0.15, and 0.25) thin films. The observed Fe 2$p$-3$d$ RPES spectra reveal that the Fe-3$d$ impurity band (IB) crossing the Fermi level becomes broader with increasing $x$, which is qualitatively consistent with the picture of double-exchange interaction. Comparison between the obtained Fe-3$d$ partial density of states and the first-principles calculations suggests that the Fe-3$d$ IB originates from the minority-spin ($\downarrow$) $e$ states. The results indicate that enhancement of the interaction between $e_\downarrow$ electrons with increasing $x$ is the origin of the high $T_{\rm C}$ in (Ga,Fe)Sb.
