In-situ monitoring of room temperature reactions of lanthanides with nitrogen and hydrogen at low pressures
Jay R. Chan, H. Joe Trodahl, Denis Lefebvre +2
The dissociative chemisorption of molecular nitrogen on clean lanthanide surfaces at ambient temperature and low pressure is explored. In-situ conductance measurements track the co…
4f Conduction in the Magnetic Semiconductor NdN
W. F. Holmes-Hewett, R. G. Buckley, B. J. Ruck +2
We report the growth of films of the intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor NdN, and an investigation of their optical and transport properties. There is clear evidence of a strong…
Vertical transport and tunnelling in rare-earth nitride heterostructures
Jackson D. Miller, Felicia H. Ullstad, H. Joe Trodahl +2
We report an investigation of the ferromagnetic semiconductor rare earth nitrides (RENs) for their potential for cryogenic-temperature electronics and spintronics application. We h…
Optical Spectroscopy of SmN: Evidence for 4f Transport
W. F. Holmes-Hewett, R. G. Buckley, B. J. Ruck +2
The rare-earth nitride ferromagnetic semiconductors owe their varying magnetic properties to the progressive filling of 4f shell across the series. Recent electrical transport meas…
Breaking molecular nitrogen under mild conditions with an atomically clean lanthanide surface
Felicia Ullstad, Gabriel Bioletti, Jay Chan +5
A route to break molecular nitrogen (N2) under mild conditions is demonstrated by N2 gas cracking on, and incorporation into, lanthanide films. Successful growth of lanthanide nitr…
