Title: Spatial Distortion of Vibration Modes via Magnetic Correlation of Impurities

Abstract

Long wavelength vibrational modes in the ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga0.91Mn0.09As are investigated using time resolved x-ray diffraction. At room temperature, we measure oscillations in the x-ray diffraction intensity corresponding to coherent vibrational modes with well-defined wavelengths. When the correlation of magnetic impurities sets in, we observe the transition of the lattice into a disordered state that does not support coherent modes at large wavelengths. Our measurements point toward a magnetically induced broadening of long wavelength vibrational modes in momentum space and their quasilocalization in the real space. More specifically, long wavelength vibrational modes cannot be assigned to a single wavelength but rather should be represented as a superposition of plane waves with different wavelengths. Lastly, our findings have strong implications for the phonon-related processes, especially carrier-phonon and phonon-phonon scattering, which govern the electrical conductivity and thermal management of semiconductor-based devices.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Measurements (filled circles) and simulations (solid lines) of time-dependent x-ray diffracted intensity from Ga0.91Mn0.09As. Panels (a),(b),(c) show data measured at room temperature, whereas panels (d),(e),(f), at 60 K. The data have been compared with predictions of dynamical theory of x-ray diffractions that assume acoustic modes with well-defined spatialmore » periodicity q (red solid lines). The black solid line in panel (d) represents a damped elastic wave with q = 0.018 π/a, ωq = 2πl(19 ps) and damping time constant $\tau$ = 12 ps.« less
