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…
The role of magnetic polarons in ferromagnetic GdN
Franck Natali, Ben Ruck, Joe Trodahl +6
We report an interplay between magnetism and charge transport in the ferromagnetic semiconductor GdN, pointing to the formation of magnetic polarons centred on nitrogen vacancies.…
Rare-earth mononitrides
Franck Natali, Ben J. Ruck, Natalie O. V. Plank +4
When the rare earth mononitrides (RENs) first burst onto the scientific scene in the middle of last century, there were feverish dreams that their strong magnetic moment would affo…
Tunable magnetic properties of arrays of Fe(110) nanowires grown on kinetically-grooved W(110) self-organized templates
Bogdana Borca, Olivier Fruchart, Evaggelos Kritsikis +5
We report a detailed magnetic study of a new type of self-organized nanowires disclosed briefly previously [B. Borca et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 90, 142507 (2007)]. The templates, pr…
Near-Zero Moment Ferromagnetism in the Semiconductor SmN
C. Meyer, B. J. Ruck, J. Zhong +4
The magnetic behaviour of SmN has been investigated in stoichiometric polycrystalline films. All samples show ferromagnetic order with Curie temperature (T_c) of 27 +/- 3 K, eviden…
