Changing the morphology of the growing surface and the nature of residual impurities in (Ge,Mn) layers - by using different substrates - dramatically changes the morphology of the ferromagnetic Mn-rich inclusions and the magnetotransport properties. We obtained p-type layers with nanocolumns, either parallel or entangled, and n-type layers with spherical clusters. Holes exhibit an anomalous Hall effect, and electrons exhibit a tunneling magnetoresistance, both with a clear dependence on the magnetization of the Mn-rich inclusions; holes exhibit orbital MR, and electrons show only the normal Hall effect, and an additional component of magnetoresistance due to weak localization, all three being independent of the magnetic state of the Mn rich inclusions. Identified mechanisms point to the position of the Fermi level of the Mn-rich material with respect to the valence band of germanium as a crucial parameter in such hybrid layers.

A new type of (Ga,Mn)As microstructures with laterally confined electronic and magnetic properties has been realized by growing (Ga,Mn)As films on [1-10]-oriented ridge structures with (113)A sidewalls and (001) top layers prepared on GaAs(001) subst rates. The temperature- and field-dependent magnetotransport data of the overgrown structures are compared with those obtained from planar reference samples revealing the coexistence of electronic and magnetic properties specific for (001) and (113)A (Ga,Mn)As on a single sample.
Germanium is emerging as the substrate of choice for the growth of graphene in CMOS-compatible processes. For future application in next generation devices the accurate control over the properties of high-quality graphene synthesized on Ge surfaces, such as number of layers and domain size, is of paramount importance. Here we investigate the role of the process gas flows on the CVD growth of graphene on Ge(100). The quality and morphology of the deposited material is assessed by using microRaman spectroscopy, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, scanning electron and atomic force microscopies. We find that by simply varying the carbon precursor flow different growth regimes - yielding to graphene nanoribbons, graphene monolayer and graphene multilayer - are established. We identify the growth conditions yielding to a layer-by-layer growth regime and report on the achievement of homogeneous monolayer graphene with an average intensity ratio of 2D and G bands in the Raman map larger than 3.
We demonstrate locally coherent heteroepitaxial growth of silicon carbide (SiC) on diamond, a result contrary to current understanding of heterojunctions as the lattice mismatch exceeds $20%$. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirms the quality and atomic structure near the interface. Guided by molecular dynamics simulations, a theoretical model is proposed for the interface wherein the large lattice strain is alleviated via point dislocations in a two-dimensional plane without forming extended defects in three dimensions. The possibility of realising heterojunctions of technologically important materials such as SiC with diamond offers promising pathways for thermal management of high power electronics. At a fundamental level, the study redefines our understanding of heterostructure formation with large lattice mismatch.

Epitaxial Mn-doped BiFeO3 (MBFO) thin films were grown on GaAs (001) substrate with SrTiO3 (STO) buffer layer by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction results demonstrate that the films show pure (00l) orientation, and MBFO(100)//STO(100), where as STO (100)//GaAs (110). Piezoresponse force microscopy images and polarization versus electric field loops indicate that the MBFO films grown on GaAs have an effective ferroelectric switching. The MBFO films exhibit good ferroelectric behavior (2Pr ~ 92 {mu}C/cm2 and 2EC ~ 372 kV/cm). Ferromagnetic property with saturated magnetization of 6.5 emu/cm3 and coercive field of about 123 Oe is also found in the heterostructure at room temperature.
The formation of a novel surface reconstruction upon Co deposition on freshly cleaved Ge(111)2x1 surfaces is studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at low temperature. The deposited Co atoms are immobile at substrate temperatures of 4.5K, while they can diffuse along the upper pi-bonded chains at a temperature of 80K and higher. This mobility results in accumulation of Co atoms at atomic steps, at domain boundaries as well as on atomically flat Ge terraces at, e.g., vacancies or adatoms, where reconstructed Co/Ge intermixing layers are formed. Voltage dependent STM images reveal that the newly reconstructed surface locally exhibits a highly ordered atomic structure, having the same periodicity as that of the initial 2x1 reconstruction. In addition, it shows a double periodicity along the [2-1-1] direction, which can be related to the modified electronic properties of the pi-bonded chains.
