Chien, and C. Uher, “Thin Film Ferromagnetic Semiconductors Sb 2-x Cr x Te 3 with a Curie Temperature up to 190K”, submitted for publication. Various single phase ferromagnetic films with tetradymite structure such as Sb 2-x V x Te 3 and Sb 2-x Cr x Te 3 have been prepared using MBE technology and characterized for their magnetic and transport properties. High quality of films is confirmed by in-situ RHEED and x-ray diffraction, Fig.1. These semiconducting films display ferromagnetism with Curie temperature up to 190K, Fig.2. The Curie temperature is proportional to xp 1/3 where x is the transition metal doping concentration and p is the concentration of holes. The dependence is consistent with the RKKY interaction scenario. The observed interplay among the carrier concentration, the density of transition metal ions, and magnetic interactions is very helpful in elucidating the origin of ferromagnetism in this family of diluted magnetic semiconductors and is an important issue for spintronics applications.

The upturns on the magnetization curves indicate the onset of long-range magnetic ordering (ferromagnetism) in the films.

Thin Film Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors with Tetradymite Structure Ctirad Uher DMR University of Michigan The ferromagnetic state of the films is studied by magnetic measurements (susceptibility, hysteresis, Arrott plots), transport investigations (resistivity, magnetoresistance, anomalous Hall effect), and by pressure studies (Tc vs. pressure). Figure 3a shows robust hysteresis loops measured at 10K for a number of Cr-doped Sb 2 Te 3 films. Equally well developed and closely matching the magnetization loops are hysteresis loops observed in the Hall effect, Fig.3b. The coercive fields scale with the concentration of Cr. Hysteresis can be detected to within a couple of degrees of Tc. The actual Curie temperature is determined via Arrott plots. The dependence of the Curie temperature on chromium concentration is shown in Fig.3c. The highest temperature so far exceeds 190K, the value that is comparable or even higher than the Curie temperature observed on Mn-doped films of GaAs. Doping with Cr causes an enhancement in the charge carrier density (holes) and the Curie temperature is proportional to xp 1/3, where x is the Cr ion content and p is the density of holes. We are exploring various other techniques (such as the influence of pressure and tunneling measurements) to elucidate the nature of magnetism in the tetradymite-type matrices of Sb 2 Te 3 and Bi 2 Te 3. Exploratory studies on the growth of Bi 2 Te 3 films and on the influence of transition metal ions in the thin film matrix of Bi 2 Te 3 are underway. Such studies are aided by our recent investigations of the magnetic ordering in vanadium-doped solid solutions of bulk crystals of (Sb 1-x Bi x ) 2 Te 3.

Thin Film Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors with Tetradymite Structure Ctirad Uher DMR University of Michigan Education: This research is a thesis project of Y.-J. Chien, a fourth year student enrolled in our Applied Physics Graduate Program. I expect Mr. Chien to complete his Ph.D. in the forthcoming academic year. In addition, in the early stages of the project my then postdoc, Dr. Jeffrey S. Dyck, participated in the design and testing of our new MBE apparatus and associated hardware. Dr. Dyck is currently an Assistant Professor at the Physics Department of John Carroll’s University in Cleveland. Although not funded by this grant, my new postdoc, Dr. Xun Shi, is much interested in thin film growth of magnetic structures and is taking an active participation in the project. During the past two summers, I supported and much enjoyed the presence in my laboratory of two talented second year undergraduate students, Peter Landry (summer of 2004) and Kim Ruelle (summer of 2005). Both have now chosen physics as their major degree and both are part of our expanding cohort of undergraduate physics majors. In addition, during the Fall term I will be supporting another undergraduate student, Mr. Chris Lawrence. Outreach: As Chair of the Department during I organized and supported a series of public lectures called Saturday Morning Physics. These lectures are given by our postdocs (Fall term) and faculty (Winter term) and attract a wide and diverse audience (attendance in excess of 250 each Saturday morning, football season or not, spanning from middle school kids to senior citizens). These lectures highlight research work conducted in our department and my group is an active participant. The past two years, I taught Physics 160 Honors, an intro physics course for the most talented students our university attracts. As an integral part of the course, I introduced group projects on modern physics topics, among them spintronics. Students in groups of 4-5 students have 3 months to prepare a proper scientific report and then present their findings to the class. The topic of spintronics is one of the most successful presentations partly because the students have a chance to visit my laboratory and observe various stages of research on our thin film diluted magnetic semiconductors. I collaborate with chemists from the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic (Prof. P. Lostak)—the collaboration that has led to the discovery of ferromagnetism in bulk crystals of transition metal-doped tetradymite-type semiconductors (e.g., V-doped Sb 2 Te 3 ) and the work upon which this research project was originally based—and this interaction continues to play a very positive role in the training of material scientists in that country. During the past year I gave two colloquia on the topic of magnetic semiconductors in the Czech Republic (at the University of Pardubice and at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry).
