Van Hove singularities at the -face of the lutetium nitride phonon dispersion
M. Markwitz, K. Kneisel, R. G. Buckley +9
We report the structural and vibrational properties of the prototypical 4-filled nonmagnetic member LuN of the lanthanide nitrides, \textit{Ln}N, with elastic and inelastic neut…
Twisted phase of the orbital-dominant ferromagnet SmN in a GdN/SmN heterostructure
J. F. McNulty, E. -M. Anton, B. J. Ruck +7
The strong spin-orbit interaction in the rare-earth elements ensures that even within a ferromagnetic state there is a substantial orbital contribution to the ferromagnetic moment,…
Europium nitride: A novel diluted magnetic semiconductor
Do Le Binh, B. J. Ruck, F. Natali +7
Europium nitride is semiconducting and contains non-magnetic \3+, but sub-stoichiometric EuN has Eu in a mix of 2+ and 3+ charge states. We show that at \2+ ~concentrations near 15…
Spin/orbit moment imbalance in the near-zero moment ferromagnetic semiconductor SmN
Eva-Maria Anton, B. J. Ruck, C. Meyer +6
SmN is ferromagnetic below 27 K, and its net magnetic moment of 0.03 Bohr magnetons per formula unit is one of the smallest magnetisations found in any ferromagnetic material. The…
Epitaxial integration of the intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor GdN with silicon technology
F. Natali, N. O. V. Plank, B. J. Ruck +4
A major challenge for the next generation of spintronics devices is the implementation of ferromagnetic-semiconductor thin films as spin injectors and detectors. Spin-polarised car…
