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 15-20% EuN is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature as high as 120 K. The 3+ ~polarization follows that of the 2+, confirming that the ferromagnetism is intrinsic to the EuN which is thus a novel diluted magnetic semiconductor. Transport measurements shed light on the likely exchange mechanisms.

Here we present a study of magnetism in CTO anatase films grown by pulsed laser deposition under a variety of oxygen partial pressures and deposition rates. Energy-dispersive spectrometry and transition electron microscopy analyses indicate that a hi
gh deposition rate leads to a homogeneous microstructure, while very low rate or postannealing results in cobalt clustering. Depth resolved low-energy muon spin rotation experiments show that films grown at a low oxygen partial pressure ($approx 10^{-6}$ torr) with a uniform structure are fully magnetic, indicating intrinsic ferromagnetism. First principles calculations identify the beneficial role of low oxygen partial pressure in the realization of uniform carrier-mediated ferromagnetism. This work demonstrates that Co:TiO$_2$ is an intrinsic diluted magnetic semiconductor.
We have studied the electronic structure of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$N ($x$ = 0.0, 0.02 and 0.042) grown on Sn-doped $n$-type GaN using photoemission and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Mn $L$-edge x-ray absorption hav
e indicated that the Mn ions are in the tetrahedral crystal field and that their valence is divalent. Upon Mn doping into GaN, new state were found to form within the band gap of GaN, and the Fermi level was shifted downward. Satellite structures in the Mn 2$p$ core level and the Mn 3$d$ partial density of states were analyzed using configuration-interaction calculation on a MnN$_{4}$ cluster model. The deduced electronic structure parameters reveal that the $p$-$d$ exchange coupling in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$N is stronger than that in Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As.
A direct observation of the giant Zeeman splitting of the free excitons in (Ga,Fe)N is reported. The magnetooptical and magnetization data imply the ferromagnetic sign and a reduced magnitude of the effective p-d exchange energy governing the interac
tion between Fe^{3+} ions and holes in GaN, N_0 beta^(app) = +0.5 +/- 0.2 eV. This finding corroborates the recent suggestion that the strong p-d hybridization specific to nitrides and oxides leads to significant renormalization of the valence band exchange splitting.
The electronic structure of doped Mn in (Ga,Mn)As is studied by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). From configuration-interaction cluster-model calculations, the line shapes of the Mn $L_3$ RIXS spectra can be explained by $d$-$d$ excitation
s from the Mn$^{3+}$ ground state, dominated by charge-transferred states, rather than a Mn$^{2+}$ ground state. Unlike archetypical $d$-$d$ excitation, the peak widths are broader than the experimental energy resolution. We attribute the broadening to a finite lifetime of the $d$-$d$ excitations, which decay rapidly to electron-hole pairs in the host valence and conduction bands through hybridization of the Mn $3d$ orbital with the ligand band.
IV-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1-xCrxTe layers up to x=0.1 were grown on SrF2 substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. In site reflection high-energy electron diffraction shows a streaky pattern with sixfold symmetry in the plane for the Ge1-xCr
xTe layer, implying an epitaxial growth of Ge1-xCrxTe [111]/SrF2 [111]. A clear hysteresis loop is observed in the anomalous Hall effect measurements due to the strong spin-orbit interaction in the host GeTe. The Curie temperature increases with increasing Cr composition up to 200 K, but there is no clear dependence of the Curie temperature on the hole concentration, implying that the mechanism of the ferromagnetic interaction among Cr ions is different from Mn doped diluted magnetic semiconductors.
