Epitaxial Growth and Properties of Candidate Diluted Magnetic Oxide Semiconductors - Chemistry and Physics of Ceramic Surfaces (Scott Chambers' BES Project - 10122)
EMSL Project ID
16895
Abstract
We propose to grow and characterize by MBE, MOCVD, and PLD doped transition metal oxide epitaxial films to assess suitability for potential use in spin electronics. We will use RHEED and XPS (in situ) along with XRD, RBS, TEM, AFM, VSM, and four-point probe (ex-situ) to determine the composition, structure, magnetic and electronic properties of materials such as Mn-and Co-doped ZnO.
