摘要: We have performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies of the diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te doped with iodine (I) or nitrogen (N), corresponding to electron hole doping, respectively. From shape Cr 2p peak in XAS spectra, it was concluded that ions undoped, I-doped lightly N-doped samples are divalent (Cr(2+)), while Cr(2+) trivalent (Cr(3+)) coexist heavily sample. This result indicates atoms act as acceptors but holes located on ions. In field dependence XMCD signal at edge, behaviors were observed I-doped, samples, ferromagnetism considerably suppressed sample, which is consistent results magnetization measurements.
