摘要: Abstract A range of high quality Ga1−xMnxN layers have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy with manganese concentration 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 10%, having the x value tuned changing growth temperature Tg between 700 and 590 °C, respectively. We present a systematic structural microstructure characterization atomic force microscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, transmission electron powder-like resolution X-ray diffraction, which do not reveal any crystallographic phase separation, clusters or nanocrystals, even at lowest Tg. Our synchrotron based absorption near-edge spectroscopy supported density functional theory modeling superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry results point to predominantly +3 configuration Mn in GaN thus ferromagnetic has observed > 5% 3
