Optimizing Tc in the (Mn,Cr,Ga)As and (Mn,Ga)(As,P) Ternary Alloys | | J. L. Xu

17 Oct 2005 | | Abstract: | We explore two possible ways to enhance the critical temperature $T_c$ in the dilute magnetic semiconductor Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As. Within the context of the double-exchange and RKKY pictures, the ternary alloys Mn$_{x}$Cr$_{0.08-x}$Ga$_{0.92}$As and Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As$_y$P$_{1-y}$ might be expected to have $T_c$ higher than the pseudobinary Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As. To test whether the expectations from model pictures are confirmed, we employ linear response theory within the local-density approximation to search for theoretically higher critical temperatures in these ternary alloys. Our results show that neither co-doping Mn with Cr, nor alloying As with P improves $T_c$. Alloying with Cr is found to be deleterious to the $T_c$. Mn$_{0.08}$Ga$_{0.92}$As$_y$P$_{1-y}$ shows almost linear dependence of $T_c$ on $y$. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0510440 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
