We describe a detailed study of the structural, magnetic, and magneto-transport properties of single-crystal, n-type, Mn-doped Bi2Te3 thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. With increasing Mn concentration, the crystal structure…
Interfacial magnetism stimulates the discovery of giant magnetoresistance and spin-orbital coupling across the heterointerfaces, facilitating the intimate correlation between spin transport and complex magnetic structures. Over decades,…
We report on infrared (IR) optical experiments on Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Mn-doped Bi$_2$Te$_3$ epitaxial thin films. In the latter film, dilute Mn doping (4.5\%) of the topologically nontrivial semiconductor host results in…
Thin films of TbMnO3 have been grown on SrTiO3 substrates. The films grow under compressive strain and are only partially clamped to the substrate. This produces remarkable changes in the magnetic properties and, unlike the bulk material,…
MnBi2Te4 has recently been predicted and shown to be a magnetic topological insulator with intrinsic antiferromagnetic order. However, it remains a challenge to grow stoichiometric MnBi2Te4 films by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and to…
Clear evidence of ferromagnetic behavior at temperatures >400 K as well as spin polarization of the charge carriers have been observed in ZnMnO thin films grown on Al2O3 and MgO substrates. The magnetic properties depended on the exact Mn…
Structural and magnetic properties of Mn5(SixGe1-x)3 thin films were investigated. Ferromagnetic Mn5Ge3 and anti-ferromagnetic Mn5Si3 thin films have been synthesized and characterized as these compounds exhibit interesting features for the…
The effect of random competing single-ion anisotropies in antiferromagnets was studied using epitaxial Mn$_x$Ni$_{1-x}$F$_2$ antiferromagnetic thin film alloys grown via molecular beam epitaxy. The crystal structure of this material is…
In1-xMnxAs diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) thin films have been grown using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Tricarbonyl(methylcyclopentadienyl)manganese was used as the Mn source. Nominally single-phase, epitaxial films were…
We present an investigation of Mn {\delta}-doped layers in Si(001) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We discovered that a Pb surfactant has significant effect on the structural and magnetic properties of the submonolayer of Mn, which depends…
Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials have been exhibiting promising potential in applications, such as spintronics devices. To grow epitaxial magnetic films on silicon substrate, in the single-layer limit, is practically important…
We studied the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties of compressive strained and unstrained BiMnO3 thin films grown by rf-magnetron sputtering. BiMnO3 samples exhibit a 2D cube-on-cube growth mode and a pseudo-cubic struc-ture up to a…
We report the growth of the intrinsic magnetic topological system MnTe(Bi2Te3)n by molecular beam epitaxy. By mapping the temperature and the Bi:Mn flux ratio, it is shown that there is a narrow growth window for the n=1 phase MnBi2Te4 with…
Atomically engineered oxide heterostructures provide a fertile ground for creating novel states. For example, a two-dimensional electron gas at the interface between two oxide insulators, giant thermoelectric Seebeck coefficient, emergent…
In order to combine silicon technology with the functionality of magnetic systems, a number of ferromagnetic (FM) materials have been suggested for the fabrication of metal/semiconductor heterojunctions. In this work, we present a…
Single phase and strained LuMnO3 thin films are discovered to display co-existing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders. A large moment ferromagnetism (approx. 1 muB), which is absent in bulk samples, is shown to display a magnetic…
Emergent phenomena arising from nontrivial band structures based on topology and symmetry have been attracting keen interest in contemporary condensed-matter physics. Materials such as SnTe and PbTe are one such example, which demonstrate a…
In order to analyse the effect of strain on the magnetic properties of narrow-band manganites, the temperature and field dependent susceptibilities of about 8.5 nm thick epitaxial Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 films, respectively grown on (001) and (110)…
Ferroelectric control of two-dimensional magnetism is promising in fabricating electronic devices with high speed and low energy consumption. The newly discovered layered MnBi$_2$Te$_4$(Bi$_2$Te$_3$)$_n$ and their Sb counterparts exhibit…
