Abstract:
The relationship between the valence states of Eu ions in Eu-doped GaN and their magnetic properties is investigated by experiments and simulations. X-ray measurements have verified that the valence states of Eu ions can be controlled through growth temperature and codopants and that the highest concentration of divalent Eu ions is found in samples grown at 700°C by codoping with Si and O. According to our phenomenological analysis, magnetoresistance measurement implies the presence of Zener’s p–f exchange interaction. However, the magnetization dependence on an external magnetic field shows non-hysteretic sigmoidal curves in all the samples. Our simulations suggest that this is due to the formation of nanostructures of the magnetic impurities in the samples by spinodal decomposition.
