We report on the growth and characterization of a new Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (DMS) heterostructure that presents a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG) with a carrier density $n sim 1.08 times 10^{12} cm^{-2}$ and a mobility $mu sim 600 cm^{2} / (Vs)$ at T $sim$ 4.2K. As far as we know this is the highest mobility value reported in the literature for GaMnAs systems. A novel technique was developed to make Ohmic contact to the buried 2DEG without destroying the magnetic properties of our crystal.

We report the first evidence of electron-mediated ferromagnetism in a molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) grown $GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ heterostructure with Mn $delta$-doping. The interaction between the magnetic dopants (Mn) and the Two-Dimensional Elect ron Gas (2DEG) realizes magnetic ordering when the temperature is below the Curie temperature ($T_{C} sim 1.7K$) and the 2DEG is brought in close proximity to the Mn layer by gating. The Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) contribution to the total Hall resistance is shown to be about three to four orders of magnitude smaller than in the case of hole-mediated ferromagnetism indicating the presence of small spin-orbit interaction.
We present an experimental investigation of the magnetic, electrical and structural properties of Ga0.94Mn0.06As1-yPy layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates for y less than or equal to 0.3. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal tha t the layers are under tensile strain which gives rise to a magnetic easy axis perpendicular to the plane of the layers. The strength of the magnetic anisotropy and the coercive field increase as the phosphorous concentration is increased. The resistivity of all samples shows metallic behaviour with the resistivity increasing as y increases. These materials will be useful for studies of micromagnetic phenomena requiring metallic ferromagnetic material with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
Modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures are utilized extensively in the study of quantum transport in nanostructures, but charge fluctuations associated with remote ionized dopants often produce deleterious effects. Electric field-induced carri er systems offer an attractive alternative if certain challenges can be overcome. We demonstrate a field-effect transistor in which the active channel is locally devoid of modulation-doping, but silicon dopant atoms are retained in the ohmic contact region to facilitate reliable low-resistance contacts. A high quality two-dimensional electron gas is induced by a field-effect and is tunable over a wide range of density. Device design, fabrication, and low temperature (T= 0.3K) transport data are reported.
Ohmic contacts to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are often realized by annealing of AuGe/Ni/Au that is deposited on its surface. We studied how the quality of this type of ohmic contact depends on the annealing time and temperature, and how optimal parameters depend on the depth of the 2DEG below the surface. Combined with transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry studies of the annealed contacts, our results allow for identifying the annealing mechanism and proposing a model that can predict optimal annealing parameters for a certain heterostructure.
Single layer (SL) phosphorus (phosphorene) has drawn considerable research attention recently as a two-dimensional (2D) material for application promises. It is a semiconductor showing superior transport and optical properties. Few-layer or SL black phosphorus has been successfully isolated by exfoliation from bulk crystals and extensively studied thereof for its electronic and optical properties. Blue phosphorus (blueP), an allotrope of black phosphorus where atoms are arranged in a more flat atomic configuration, has been recently suggested by theory to exist in the SL form on some substrates. In this work, we report the formation of a blueP-like epilayer on Au(111) by molecular-beam epitaxy. In particular, we uncover by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) one-dimensional (1D) atomic chains at low coverage, which develop into more compact islands or patches of $(sqrt{3}timessqrt{3})R30^circ$ structure with increasing coverage before blueP-like islands nucleate and grow. We also note an interesting growth characteristic where the $(sqrt{3}timessqrt{3})R30^circ$ surface at intermediate coverage tends to phase-separate into locally low-coverage 1D chain and high-coverage blueP-like structures, respectively. This experiment thus not only lends a support of the recently proposed half-layer by half-layer (HLBHL) growth mechanism but also reveals the kinetic details of blueP growth processes.
