Suppression of ferromagnetism due to hole doping in Zn 1 − x Cr x Te grownby molecular-beam epitaxy

Electric and magnetic properties were investigated on p -type Zn 1 − x Cr x Te doped with nitrogen (N) as an acceptor. Thin films of p - Zn 1 − x Cr x Te ( x ≦ 0.09 ) were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy with the supply of N 2 gas excited by rf plasma. With the increase of Cr composition x at an alm...

description Electric and magnetic properties were investigated on p -type Zn 1 − x Cr x Te doped with nitrogen (N) as an acceptor. Thin films of p - Zn 1 − x Cr x Te ( x ≦ 0.09 ) were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy with the supply of N 2 gas excited by rf plasma. With the increase of Cr composition x at an almost fixed N concentration of the order of 10 20 cm − 3 , the temperature dependence of resistivity changed from metallic behavior to an insulating one, accompanied with a significant decrease of the hole concentration. The magnetization measurements revealed that ferromagnetic behaviors observed in undoped Zn 1 − x Cr x Te were suppressed due to the nitrogen doping; with N concentrations of the order of 10 20 cm − 3 , hysteresis loops in the magnetization curve disappeared, the magnitude of magnetization decreased, and the ferromagnetic transition were not observed down to 2 K according to the Arrott plot analysis. These experimental findings are discussed on the basis of the ferromagnetic double exchange interaction which is considered to work on the Cr 3 d impurity level formed in the band gap of ZnTe.
