摘要: The ferromagnetic properties of IV-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1−xCrxTe films prepared by sputtering are investigated. ferromagnetism such as the spontaneous magnetization and Curie temperature is significantly affected stoichiometry, while Ge1−xMnxTe was hardly defects depended strongly on hole concentration [Y. Fukuma, H. Asada, N. Nishimura, T. Koyanagui, J. Appl. Phys. 93, 4034 (2003)]. difference could be ascribed to interaction order: short-range order a superexchange mechanism plays more an important role than long-range Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida in films.
