  • 利用高温固相反应法, 成功合成了一种新型块状稀磁半导体(La1–xSrx)(Zn1–xMnx)SbO(x = 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1). 通过(La3+, Sr2+)、(Zn2+, Mn2+)替换, 在半导体材料LaZnSbO中分别引入了载流子与局域磁矩. 在各掺杂浓度的样品中均可观察到铁磁有序相转变, 当掺杂浓度x = 0.1时, 其居里温度Tc达到了27.1 K, 2 K下测量获得的等温磁化曲线表明其矫顽力为5000 Oe. (La1–xSrx)(Zn1–xMnx)SbO与“1111”型铁基超导体母体LaFeAsO、“1111”型反铁磁体LaMnAsO具有相同的晶体结构, 且晶格参数差异很小, 为制备多功能异质结器件提供了可能的材料选择.

     

    Diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) that combines the properties of spin and charge degrees of freedom, which has potential applications in the field of spintronic devices. In the 1990s, due to the breakthrough of low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy technology, scientists successfully synthesized III-V DMS (Ga, Mn)As, and developed some spintronics devices accordingly. However, the maximum Curie temperature of (Ga, Mn)As is only 200 K, which is still below room temperature that is required for practical applications. Searching for diluted magnetic semiconductors with higher Curie temperature and the exploring of their magnetism is still one of the focuses at present. In recent years, developed from iron-based superconductors, a series of novel magnetic semiconductors have been reported. These new DMSs have the advantages of decoupled charge and spin doping, and each concentration can be precisely controlled. In this paper, novel bulk diluted magnetic semiconductors (La1–xSrx)(Zn1–xMnx)SbO (x = 0.025, 0.050,0.075, 0.10) are successfully synthesized, with the highest Tc ~ 27.1 K for the doping level of x = 0.10. We dope Sr2+ and Mn2+ into the parent semiconductor material LaZnSbO to introduce holes and moments, respectively. The ferromagnetic ordered phase transition can be observed in the samples with various doping concentrations. A relatively large coercive field is observed to be ~ 5000 Oe from the iso-thermal magnetization measurement at 2 K. The (La1–xSrx)(Zn1–xMnx)SbO has the same crystal structure as the “1111-type” iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO, and the lattice parameter difference is very small. It provides a possible material choice for preparing the multifunctional heterojunction devices.
