  2. Scope of this talk • Summary of previous studies of chalcopyrite type magnetic semiconductors • Results of in-situ photoelectron spectroscopy • Suggested existence of chalcopyrite MnGeP2 • Thermodynamic analysis • MOMBE growth of MnGeP2 • Magnetic and magneto-optical characterization ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  3. Brief summary of previous studies of chalcopyrite type magnetic semiconductors • We have been working with Mn-substituted chalcopyrite type semiconductors CdGeP2 and ZnGeP2, in which we have confirmed ferromagnetic behavior up to 423 K and 350 K, respectively. Magneto-optical effect was also observed. • These samples were obtained by deposition and subsequent diffusion of Mn to bulk single crystals of ternary compounds. • Theoretical calculation suggests that CdGeP2 system with vacancies or non-stoichiometric composition will lead to ferromagnetism although ferromagnetism is not favored in stoichiometric (Cd, Mn)GeP2. ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  5. Previous preparation method • Mn was deposited on single crystals of CdGeP2 and ZnGeP2 at Tsub400C, by which Mn was diffused into the bulk to substitute group II and IV cations. • During growth RHEED pattern of chalcopyrite structure seems sustained • Mn-diffused crystals show ferromagnetism above room temperature.

  15. Problems • Inhomogeneous depth profile of Mn obtained by the deposition-diffusion technique. • Electrical properties of the surface shows a metallic behavior. • Preparation of homogeneously Mn-doped layer is necessary. Effort to obtain CdGeP2:Mn thin films by MBE ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  16. Careful preparation necessary • Synthesis of bulk or powder CdGeP2:Mn from constituent elements was tried. However, it was difficult to prevent formation of second phase compounds. • In bulk ZnGeP2:Mn prepared at elevated temperature (T>550C), room-temperature ferromagnetism is suspected as due to MnP precipitated in the material. • Careful preparation of films with homogeneous distribution of Mn is strongly required.

  30. Thermodynamic analysis for MBE growth of MnGeP2 • To know whether MnGeP2 can be obtained as a stable compound using the MBE technique, thermodynamic analysis is performed. ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  31. Driving force for deposition In the thermodynamic analysis, we used parameters of driving force for deposition P, Input partial pressure, P0, and equilibrium partial pressure at vapor-solid interface, P. Here, driving force for deposition Pis the difference between input partial pressure and equilibrium partial pressure : P=P0-P; where P0 is input partial pressure, and P equilibrium partial pressure Using these parameters, we can obtain Input mole ratio, RMn, and solid composition, x, asfollows: ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  33. MBE • Here, we assume P2 molecule as a group-V source, because more than 80% of TBP is cracked and changed to P2 rather than P4 at 813C. • Mn(g)+1/2 P2(g) = MnP(s) • Ge(g)+1/2 P2(g) = GeP(s) Conservation constraints • PMn+Ge0-PMn+Ge= 2(PP20-PP2) • Pi = PMn+PGe+PP2 Equilibrium equation for reaction using these equations equilibrium partial pressure, which is unknoun parameter, is calculated. ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  34. Ab-initio calculation of enthalpy of mixing • Enthalpy of mixingHmHm=EMnGeP-{xEMnP+(1-x)EGeP} • Interaction parameter = Hm/x(1-x) • Solid composition xx= PMn/(PMn+ PGe) vs Input molar ratio of MnRMn=P0Mn/(P0Mn+P0Ge) Ab initio calculations using DMOL3 code ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  35. Ge P Mn GeP MnP Mn0.5Ge0.5P Enthalpy of Mixing in (Mn,Ge)P as a Function of Solid Composition • The function,Hm, is estimated from the ab initio total energy calculations for structure models. (ZB) (ZB) ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  36. Calculated Enthalpy of Mixing • It is found, in the graph, that enthalpy of mixing has negative value. • This is because the chalcopyrite structure with x=0.5 becomes stable compared with random alloy ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  37. Interaction parameter  W=DHm/x(1-x) From the calculated enthalpy of mixing, Hm, we estimated interaction parameter, W, to be 3044x-33726 [cal/mol]. Using this function, we carried out the thermo-dynamic analyses and examined the relationships between input mole ratio and solid composition. ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  38. Here, the thermodynamic calculations were performed under the following conditions; PMn0+PGe0=1.0x10-7 torr PP20=2.0x10-7 torr It is found, in the graph, that small input mole ratio is required to make MnGeP2 at higher temperatures. This is because that Mn-P bond is easily formed compared with Ge-P bond. MnGeP2 Vapor/solid distribution relationship ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004

  39. MOMBE growth of MnGeP2 • We applied MOMBE technique to obtain MnGeP2 films on GaAs substrate. • Mn and Ge are supplied from solid state source using K-cells • As P source, TBP (tertiary butyl phosphine) MO source is employed. • TBP is cracked to form P2 using cracking cell at 813 C ICTMC14, Denver, Oct. 1, 2004
