Clustering in a Precipitate-Free GeMn Magnetic Semiconductor

Clustering in a Precipitate-Free GeMn Magnetic Semiconductor

We present the first study relating structural parameters of precipitate free Ge0.95Mn0.05 films to magnetisation data. Nanometer sized clusters - areas with increased Mn content on substitutional lattice sites compared to the host matrix - are detected in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The films show no overall spontaneous magnetisation …
