摘要：GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DILUTE MAGNETIC SEMICONDUCTORS FOR SPINTRONIC DEVICES: Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are ferromagnetic semiconductors recently discovered in nitride- and oxide- based semiconductor materials. They are created by incorporating a small percentage of magnetic atoms into the semiconductor host. DMS have received much attention recently due to their potential use in novel spintronic (spin + electronic) devices, ranging from electro-optical switches to qubits for quantum computing. The ultimate success of the field of spintronics depends on materials with large spin polarization. Fortunately, DMS materials have 100% spin polarization. Therefore, the growth of high quality thin films of DMS materials, their property characterization, and an understanding of the science of these materials are very important in spintronics research. This presentation will discuss our recent research activities including; growth of high quality thin films using pulsed laser deposition, structural characterization, and magneto-transport and optical properties studies of DMS materials.
