Hybridization between the conduction band and 3d orbitals in the oxide-based diluted magnetic semiconductor InVO

Abstract

The electronic structure of InVO () has been investigated using photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The V core-level PES and XAS spectra revealed trivalent electronic state of the V ion, consistent with the substitution of the V ion for the In site. The V 3d partial density of states obtained by the resonant PES technique showed a sharp peak above the O band. While the O XAS spectrum of InVO was similar to that of InO, there were differences in the In and 3d XAS spectra between V-doped and pure InO. The observations give clear evidence for hybridization between the In conduction band and the V 3d orbitals in InVO.
