Interplay between strain, quantum confinement, and ferromagnetism in strained ferromagnetic semiconductor (In,Fe)As thin films

Journal Article Sasaki, Daisuke ; Anh, Le Duc ; Nam Hai, Pham ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We systematically investigated the influence of strain on the electronic structure and ferromagnetism of (In,Fe)As thin films. It is found that while the shift of the critical point energies of compressive-strained (In,Fe)As layers grown on (In{sub 1−y},Ga{sub y})As (y = 0.05, 0.1) buffer layers can be explained by the hydrostatic deformation effect (HDE) alone, those of tensile-strained (In,Fe)As layers grown on (Ga{sub 1−z},Al{sub z})Sb (z = 0, 0.5, 1) buffer layers can be explained by the combination of HDE and the quantum confinement effect (QCE). The Curie temperature T{sub C} of the (In,Fe)As layers strongly depends on the strain, and shows a maximum formore »« less

Direct observation of the magnetic anisotropy of an Fe(II) spin crossover molecular thin film

Journal Article Dale, Ashley S. ; Yazdani, Saeed ; Ekanayaka, Thilini K. ; ... - JPhys Materials

Abstract Spin crossover molecules are a promising candidate for molecular spintronics that aim for ultrafast and low-power devices for data storage and magnetic and information sensing. The rapid spin state transition is best controlled by non-thermal methods including magnetic field. Unfortunately, the magnetic field normally required to switch the spin state is normally high (~30 T), which calls for better understanding of the fundamental mechanism. In this work, we provide clear evidence of magnetic anisotropy in the local orbital moment of a molecular thin film based on spin crossover complex [Fe(H ₂ B(pz) ₂ ) ₂ (bipy)] (pz = pyrazol−1−yl,more »« less

Molecular-dynamics simulations of thin polyisoprene films confined between amorphous silica substrates

Journal Article Guseva, D. V., E-mail: d.v.guseva@tue.nl ; Physics Department, Chair of Polymer and Crystal Physics, M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119991 Moscow ; Komarov, P. V. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Constant temperature–constant pressure (NpT) molecular-dynamics computer simulations have been carried out for the united-atom model of a non-crosslinked (1,4) cis-polyisoprene (PI) melt confined between two amorphous, fully coordinated silica surfaces. The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential was implemented to describe the polymer–silica interactions. The thickness H of the produced PI–silica film has been varied in a wide range, 1 < H/R{sub g} < 8, where R{sub g} is the individual PI chain radius of gyration measured under the imposed confinement. After a thorough equilibration, the PI film stratified structure and polymer segmental dynamics have been studied. The chain structure in the middlemore »« less

Laser annealing of laser assisted molecular beam deposited ZnO thin films with application to metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors

Journal Article Meiya, Li ; Anderson, Wayne ; Chokshi, Nehal ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We report on the effect of postdeposition laser annealing of undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films grown by laser assisted molecular beam deposition. Hall-effect measurements show that some undoped ZnO films change from n type with mobility values in the range of 200 cm{sup 2} V{sup -1} s{sup -1} to p-type material with mobility value of 73 cm{sup 2} V{sup -1} s{sup -1}, after laser annealing. The photoconductive behavior was clearly seen on the laser-annealed samples, with values of 0.28 m{omega}{sup -1}. The structural and optical properties of the films were improved with laser annealing as shown by scanning electronmore »« less
