The effect of modulation doping by Be on the ferromagnetic properties of Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As is investigated in Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As/Ga(1-y)Al(y)As heterojunctions and quantum wells. Introducing Be acceptors into the Ga(1-y)Al(y)As barriers leads to an increase of the Curie temperature T_C of Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As, from 70 K in undoped structures to over 100 K with the modulation doping. This increase is qualitatively consistent with a multi-band mean field theory simulation of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism. An important feature is that the increase of T_C occurs only in those structures where the modulation doping is introduced after the deposition of the magnetic layer, but not when the Be-doped layer is grown first. This behavior is expected from the strong sensitivity of Mn interstitial formation to the value of the Fermi energy during growth.
A remarkable progress towards functional ferromagnetic semiconductor materials for spintronics has been achieved in p-type (Ga,Mn)As. Robust hole-mediated ferromagnetism has, however, been observed also in other III-V hosts such as antimonides, GaP o
We have measured the magnetoresistance in a series of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As samples with 0.033$le x le$ 0.053 for three mutually orthogonal orientations of the applied magnetic field. The spontaneous resistivity anisotropy (SRA) in these materials is ne
We study the effects of growth temperature, Ga:As ratio and post-growth annealing procedure on the Curie temperature, Tc, of (Ga,Mn)As layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We achieve the highest Tc values for growth temperatures very close to the
We report on the magnetic and the electronic properties of the prototype dilute magnetic semiconductor Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Trends in the ferromagnetic transition temperature $T_C$ with respect to the IR spectral weigh
We have investigated the electronic structure of the $p$-type diluted magnetic semiconductor In$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As by photoemission spectroscopy. The Mn 3$d$ partial density of states is found to be basically similar to that of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As. How
