AI总结:

本文研究了在LaAlO3(001)上外延生长的高质量GdN薄膜,发现其铁磁转变约70 K,氮空位掺杂引入约3×10^20 cm^-3电子,迁移率比此前薄膜提高一个数量级。

摘要:

我们报告了在LaAlO3(001)表面所呈现的方形网格上生长的(001) GdN薄膜的电子输运研究,该研究受到几种镧系氮化物外延薄膜生长近期进展的推动。我们为此目的生长的薄膜通过原位RHEED以及非原位XRD和XRR进行了表征,显示出迄今为止我们所获得的最佳结晶性和最光滑表面。它在约70 K处表现出清晰的铁磁转变,饱和磁化强度在不确定度范围内为每个Gd3+离子7 μB,剩磁为每个Gd3+离子5 μB,矫顽场约为5 mT。该薄膜掺杂了约1%的氮空位,这些空位向导带中引入了约3×10^20 cm^-3的电子。电阻率显示出在导带中的输运,该导带被约0.01个电子/化学式单位的掺杂简并化,剩余电阻比为2,霍尔电阻率允许容易地分离普通霍尔分量和反常霍尔分量。迁移率比我们在早期薄膜中发现的要大一个数量级。

英文摘要:

We report electron transport studies of a (001) GdN film grown on the square net presented by the (001) surface of LaAlO3, motivated by recent advances in epitaxial thin-film growth of several lanthanide nitrides. The film we have grown for the purpose is characterised by in-situ RHEED and ex-situ XRD and XRR to show the best crystallinity and smoothest surfaces we have accomplished to date. It shows a clear ferromagnetic transition at $\sim70$ K with a saturation magnetisation within uncertainly of 7 $μ$B/Gd$^{3+}$ ion, a remanence of 5 $μ$B/Gd$^{3+}$ ion and a coercive field of $\sim$5 mT. It is doped by $\sim1$% nitrogen vacancies that introduce $\sim3\times10^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ electrons into the conduction band. The resistivity shows transport in a conduction band doped to degeneracy by $\sim0.01$ electrons/formula unit with a residual resistance ratio of 2 and a Hall resistivity permitting easily-separated ordinary and anomalous Hall components. The mobility is an order of magnitude larger than we have found in earlier films.
