Research Abstract |
本年度は、高温磁気相転移をする材料創製の指針をたてるために、磁化を加味したk・p法によるバンド計算を行い、平均場近似により磁性半導体の強磁性転移温度を初めて見積もった。この手法により現在実験的に得られている(Ga,Mn)Asの最高の磁気転移温度T_c=110Kを再現することを示し、よりT_cを上げるために必要な材料への知見を得ることに成功した。また(Ga,Mn)AsにおいてもMn組成と正孔濃度を上げることによりT_cを向上できる可能性があることを示した。 実験的には正孔濃度を向上させるために、(Ga,Mn)As量子井戸中に(Al,Ga,Mn)As障壁層から正孔が供給されるような(Ga,Mn)As/(Al,Ga,Mn)As超格子構造を分子線エピタキシ法により作製しその特性を見積もったが、大幅なT_cの向上には至っていない。 また、新しい材料として(Ga,Mn)Sbの作製を試みた。閃亜鉛構造のGaSbに固溶するMn濃度を結晶成長温度を下げることにより増加できることを実験的に示した。通常の結晶成長温度でGaSbに固溶するMn濃度は1%にも満たないが、それよりも300℃程度低い250℃の結晶成長ではパーセント・オーダのMnをGaSb結晶中に導入可能であることを明らかにした。
