| Research Abstract |
We investigated on the local circumstances and ferromagnetism of GaN doped Cr and Gd elements by using XAFS method and XMCD. We found the local structure around Cr in GaN that the Cr atom is substituted on Ga atom until 4% of the Cr concentration. In deep doping over 4%, Cr atoms construct a CrN structure in GaN. Our GaN : Cr showed two phases of hexagonal and cubic structures from the first nearest neighbor analysis around Cr atoms. GaGdN with 6% concentration of Gd atoms also showed the substitutional arraignment on Gd. We furthermore found a new luminescence in GaGdN at 652nm, which is tentatively assigned to f-f transition of divalent Gd ions.
