Ferromagnetic modification of GaN film by Cu+ ions implantation
2010
Abstract The structural and magnetic properties of Cu + ions-implanted GaN films have been reported. Eighty kiloelectron-volt Cu + ions were implanted into n-type GaN film at room temperature with fluences ranging from 1 × 10 16 to 8 × 10 16 cm −2 and subsequently annealed at 800 °C for 1 h in N 2 ambient. PIXE was employed to determine the Cu-implanted content. The magnetic property was measured by the Quantum Design MPMS SQUID magnetometer. No secondary phases or clusters were detected within the sensitivity of XRD. Raman spectrum measurement showed that the Cu ions incorporated into the crystal lattice positions of GaN through substitution of Ga atoms. Apparent ferromagnetic hysteresis loops measured at 10 K were presented. The experimental result showed that the ferromagnetic signal strongly increased with Cu-implanted fluence from 1 × 10 16 to 8 × 10 16 cm −2 .
