Mn_5Ge_3C_x films with x>0.5 were experimentally shown to exhibit a strongly enhanced Curie temperature T_C compared to Mn_5Ge_3. In this letter we present the results of our first principles calculations within Green's function approach,…
B20-type MnSi is the prototype magnetic skyrmion material. Thin films of MnSi show a higher Curie temperature than their bulk counterpart. However, it is not yet clear what mechanism leads to the increase of the Curie temperature. In this…
Nanoscale layered ferromagnets have demonstrated fascinating two-dimensional magnetism down to atomic layers, providing a peculiar playground of spin orders for investigating fundamental physics and spintronic applications. However,…
Wurtzite GaN:Mn films on sapphire substrates were successfully grown by use of the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The film has an extremely high Curie temperature of around 940 K, although the Mn concentration is only about 3 ~ 5 %.…
We present a study of the thickness dependence of magnetism and electrical conductivity in ultra thin La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 films grown on SrTiO3 (110) substrates. We found a critical thickness of 10 unit cells below which the conductivity of…
Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) based on group-IV materials are desirable for spintronic devices compatible with current silicon technology. In this work, amorphous Mn-doped SiGe thin films were first fabricated on Ge substrates by…
We have studied magnetic properties of heavily Mn-doped [(In0.44Ga0.56)0.79Mn0.21]As thin films grown by low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy (LT-MBE) on InP substrates. The (InGaMn)As with high Mn content (21%) was obtained by decreasing…
The electrical resistivity, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), and anomalous Hall effect of ferromagnetic Mn5Ge3, Mn5Ge3C0.8, and Mn5Si3C0.8 thin films has been investigated. The data show a behavior characteristic for a ferromagnetic…
In this letter, the electrical and magnetic properties of La{sub(1-x)}Te{sub(x)}MnO{sub(3)}(x=0.1, 0.15), which is a new material and shows good colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior, have been investigated. These compounds have…
A set of thin film Mn$_x$Si$_{1-x}$ alloy samples with different manganese concentration x = 0.44 - 0.63 grown by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method onto the Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) substrate was investigated in the temperature range 4 -…
We report on an enhancement of the Curie temperature in GaMnAs/InGaMnAs superlattices grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy, which is due to thin InGaMnAs or InGaAs films embedded into the GaMnAs layers. The pronounced increase of…
We report on the chemical stability of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films. X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Mn L-edge and O K-edge makes evident deviations from the nominally expected (2/3-1/3) Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio after the growth of thin films on…
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…
Ferromagnetic properties of In1-xMnxAs thin films were investigated. Room temperature ferromagnetic order was observed in nominally single-phase films with x = 0.01-0.10. Magnetization measurements indicated that these In1-xMnxAs samples…
We show that by annealing Ga1-xMnxAs thin films at temperatures significantly lower than in previous studies, and monitoring the resistivity during growth, an unprecedented high Curie temperature Tc and conductivity can be obtained. Tc is…
Recent experiments in La$_{1-x}$Ba$_x$MnO$_3$ thin films by Zhang {\it et al.} {[Phys. Rev. B {\bf 64}, 184404 (2001)]} showed that the ferromagnetic Curie temperature $T_c$ is enhanced (reduced) by tensile (compressive) strain. The results…
We present the magnetotransport properties of very thin (5 to 15 nm) single (Ga,Mn)As layers grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy. A lower (Ga,Mn)As thickness limit of 5 nm for the ferromagnetic phase and the dependence of the…
Considerable efforts have been devoted recently to synthesize diluted magnetic semiconductors having ferromagnetic properties at room temperature because of their technological impacts for spintronic devices. In 2001 successful growth of…
We have grown (InyGa1-y)1-xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor layers with Mn composition x up to 0.13 on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Near the lattice-matched composition, i.e., y ~ 0.53, the Curie temperature increases linearly…
Previous studies showed that, as ferroelectric films become thinner, their Curie temperature (Tc) and polarization below Tc both typically decrease. In contrast, a recent experiment [Chang et al., Science 353, 274 (2016)] observed that…
