We investigate the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of epitaxial GaN:Gd layers as a function of the external magnetic field and temperature. An unprecedented magnetic moment is observed in this diluted magnetic semiconductor. The average value of the moment per Gd atom is found to be as high as 4000 mub as compared to its atomic moment of 8 mub. The long-range spin-polarization of the GaN matrix by Gd is also reflected in the circular polarization of magneto-photoluminescence measurements. Moreover, the materials system is found to be ferromagnetic above room temperature in the entire concentration range under investigation (7$times10^{15}$ to 2$times10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$). We propose a phenomenological model to understand the macroscopic magnetic behavior of the system. Our study reveals a close connection between the observed ferromagnetism and the colossal magnetic moment of Gd.

We demonstrate the manipulation of the Curie temperature of buried layers of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As using nanolithography to enhance the effect of annealing. Patterning the GaAs-capped ferromagnetic layers into nanowires exposes fr
ee surfaces at the sidewalls of the patterned (Ga,Mn)As layers and thus allows the removal of Mn interstitials using annealing. This leads to an enhanced Curie temperature and reduced resistivity compared to unpatterned samples. For a fixed annealing time, the enhancement of the Curie temperature is larger for narrower nanowires.
Bimetal transition iodides in two-dimensional scale provide an interesting idea to combine a set of single-transition-metal ferromagnetic semiconductors together. Motivated by structural engineering on bilayer CrI$_3$ to tune its magnetism and works
that realize ideal properties by stacking van der Waals transitional metal dichalcogenides in a certain order. Here we stack monolayer VI$_3$ onto monolayer CrI$_3$ with a middle-layer I atoms discarded to construct monolayer V$_2$Cr$_2$I$_9$. Based on this crystal model, the stable and metastable phases are determined among 7 possible phases by first-principles calculations. It is illustrated that both the two phases have Curie temperature $sim$ 6 (4) times higher than monolayer CrI$_3$ and VI$_3$. The reason can be partly attributed to their large magnetic anisotropy energy (the maximum value reaches 412.9 $mu$eV/atom). More importantly, the Curie temperature shows an electric field and strain dependent character and can even surpass room temperature under a moderate strain range. At last, we believe that the bimetal transition iodide V$_2$Cr$_2$I$_9$ monolayer would support potential opportunities for spintronic devices.
We provide experimental evidence that the upper limit of ~110 K commonly observed for the Curie temperature T_C of Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As is caused by the Fermi-level-induced hole saturation. Ion channeling, electrical and magnetization measurements on a ser
ies of Ga(1-x-y)Mn(x)Be(y)As layers show a dramatic increase of the concentration of Mn interstitials accompanied by a reduction of T_C with increasing Be concentration, while the free hole concentration remains relatively constant at ~5x10^20 cm^-3. These results indicate that the concentrations of free holes and ferromagnetically active Mn spins are governed by the position of the Fermi level, which controls the formation energy of compensating interstitial Mn donors.
We present high-temperature ferromagnetism and large magnetic anisotropy in heavily Fe-doped n-type ferromagnetic semiconductor (In1-x,Fex)Sb (x = 20 - 35%) thin films grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy. The (In1-x,Fex)Sb thin films with
x = 20 - 35% maintain the zinc-blende crystal and band structure with single-phase ferromagnetism. The Curie temperature (TC) of (In1-x,Fex)Sb reaches 390 K at x = 35%, which is significantly higher than room temperature and the highest value so far reported in III-V based ferromagnetic semiconductors. Moreover, large coercive force (HC = 160 Oe) and large remanent magnetization (Mr/MS = 71%) have been observed for a (In1-x,Fex)Sb thin film with x = 35%. Our results indicate that the n-type ferromagnetic semiconductor (In1-x,Fex)Sb is very promising for spintronics devices operating at room temperature.
The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) that emerges under broken time-reversal symmetry in topological insulators (TI) exhibits many fascinating physical properties for potential applications in nano-electronics and spintronics. However, in transit
ion-metal doped TI, the only experimentally demonstrated QAHE system to date, the effect is lost at practically relevant temperatures. This constraint is imposed by the relatively low Curie temperature (Tc) and inherent spin disorder associated with the random magnetic dopants. Here we demonstrate drastically enhanced Tc by exchange coupling TI to Tm3Fe5O12, a high-Tc magnetic insulator with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Signatures that the TI surface states acquire robust ferromagnetism are revealed by distinct squared anomalous Hall hysteresis loops at 400 K. Point-contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy confirms that the TI surface is indeed spin-polarized. The greatly enhanced Tc, absence of spin disorder, and perpendicular anisotropy are all essential to the occurrence of the QAHE at high temperatures.
