摘要
Cubic GaCrN films were synthesized on MgO(001) substrates using plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy, and room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed. It is suggested that these samples show more single cubic phases than those grown on Al2O3(0001) substrates. The influences of V/III ratio and Cr cell temperature on the properties of the grown GaCrN films were characterized extensively. The V/III ratio which controls the Cr incorporation in the GaCrN thin films was one of the key parameters. The Cr incorporation was larger in the GaCrN films grown under N-rich conditions than those under Ga-rich conditions. Moreover, a Ga4Cr secondary phase was also seen in the GaCrN film when it was grown under Ga-rich conditions. High-concentration Cr doping resulted in the formation of a CrN secondary phase.
