Tuning alloy disorder in diluted magnetic semiconductors in high fields to 89 T

S. A. Crooker, N. Samarth

Alloy disorder in II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is typically reduced when the local magnetic spins align in an applied magnetic field. An important and untested expec…

Ordering of rare gas films on a decagonal Al-Ni-Co quasicrystal

R. D. Diehl, W. Setyawan, N. Ferralis +3

This paper reviews recent progress in the study of rare gas films on quasicrystalline surfaces. The adsorption of Xe on the 10-fold surface of decagonal Al-Ni-Co was studied using…

Internal magnetic fields in thin ZnSe epilayers

S. Ghosh, N. P. Stern, B. Maertz +4

Strain induced spin-splitting is observed and characterized using pump-probe Kerr rotation spectroscopy in n-ZnSe epilayers grown on GaAs substrates. The spin-splitting energies ar…

Multiferroic Domain Dynamics in Strained Strontium Titanate

A. Vasudevarao, A. Kumar, L. Tian +10

Multiferroicity can be induced in strontium titanate by applying biaxial strain, resulting in the coexistence of both ferroelectric and antiferrodistortive domains. The magnitude a…

Non-collinear Spin Valve Effect in Ferromagnetic Semiconductor Trilayers

G. Xiang, B. L. Sheu, M. Zhu +2

We report the observation of the spin valve effect in (Ga,Mn)As/p-GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer devices. Magnetoresistance measurements carried out in the current in plane geometry revea…

Graphane: a two-dimensional hydrocarbon

Jorge O. Sofo, Ajay S. Chaudhari, Greg D. Barber

We predict the stability of a new extended two-dimensional hydrocarbon on the basis of first-principles total energy calculations. The compound that we call graphane is a fully sat…

Antisite effect on ferromagnetism in (Ga,Mn)As

R. C. Myers, B. L. Sheu, A. W. Jackson +4

We study the Curie temperature and hole density of (Ga,Mn)As while systematically varying the As-antisite density. Hole compensation by As-antisites limits the Curie temperature an…
