Formation and magnetic properties of InFeP:Ag nanorods fabricated with noble metal Ag using an ion milling method

Abstract

The formation including density, and height of InFeP:Ag nano-rods doped with noble metal Ag using ion milling method was preponderantly determined from TEM and XRD analyses. We investigate especially the enhanced ferromagnetism of the well aligned InFeP:Ag nano-rods. AES and XPS measurements were carried out in order to investigate the incorporation of Ag and to verify the local chemical bonding of InFeP:Ag nano-rods. The variation of FWHM for DCRC and TAD peaks demonstrates that noble metal Ag is incorporated into InFeP:Ag nano-rods. The noticeable ferromagnetic signature (M-H curve) of the InFeP:Ag nano-rods is observed and Tc persists up to near 350 K (3.9 × 10-4 emu/g) from temperature - dependence magnetization (M-T curve) measurements. This study suggests that the InFeP:Ag nano-rods should be a potential candidate for the application of spintronic devices.

High-mobility junction field-effect transistor via graphene/MoS2 heterointerface

“…Reactive ion etching (RIE, AFS-4RT; O 2 plasma power of 30 mW; flow rate of 20 sccm at 10 ‒3 torr) was used to define the channel area of Gr. Monolayer MoS 2 flakes were grown in a separate CVD chamber and transferred onto graphene strips by a water-assisted transfer method 45 . Thereafter, the exfoliated graphite flakes (~ 5 nm) were placed on the Gr/MoS 2 heterostructure by the aligned transfer technique, in a glove box.…”
