Title Mn L3,2 x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxP
Date 2007
Description We have measured the X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Mn i32 edges in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMrixP films for 0.018<x<0.042. Large XMCD asymmetries at the L3 edge indicate significant spin-polarization of the density of states at the Fermi energy. The spectral shapes of the XAS and XMCD are nearly identical with those for Ga1-xMrixAs indicating that the hybridization of Mn d states and anion p states is similar in the two materials. Finally, compensation with sulfur donors not only lowers the ferromagnetic Curie temperature but also reduces the spin polarization of the hole states.
