Ferromagnetic GaAs structures with single Mn delta-layer fabricated using laser deposition

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2012 Jun;12(6):5122-4. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2012.4895.

Abstract

The new technique combining metal-organic chemical vapor epitaxy with laser ablation of solid targets was used for fabrication of ferromagnetic GaAs structures with single Mn delta-doped layer. The structures demonstrated anomalous Hall effect, planar Hall effect, negative and anisotropic magnetoresistance in temperature range of 10-35 K. In GaAs structures with only single Mn delta-layer (without additional 2D hole gas channel or quantum well) ferromagnetism was observed for the first time.
