Neutron irradiation effects on polycrystalline Ge1−Mn thin films grown by MBE

Magnetic MnxGe1-x Dots for Spintronics Applications

“…To date, there are many reports on the Mn x Ge 1-x growth and characterizations by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) (Park et al, 2002, Li et al, 2005, Jamet et al, 2006, Tsui et al, 2003, Ahlers et al, 2006a, Ahlers et al, 2006b, Bougeard et al, 2006, Devillers et al, 2007, Li et al, 2007, Park et al, 2001, Wang et al, 2008a, Pinto et al, 2005b, ion implantation (Park et al, 2005, Lin et al, 2008, Verna et al, 2006, D'Orazio et al, 2002, Liu et al, 2004, Lifeng et al, 2004, and bulk crystal growth (Cho et al, 2002, Biegger et al, 2007. We can divide them here, for an easier orientation, into two groups: those that cover fundermantal studies of phase formation, ferromagnetism, and transport properties (Park et al, 2002, Li et al, 2005, Majumdar et al, 2009a, Wang et al, 2008a, Gunnella et al, 2005, Liu et al, 2006, Jamet et al, 2006, Li et al, 2006b, Zhu et al, 2004, Miyoshi et al, 1999, Li et al, 2006a, Zeng et al, 2006, Cho et al, 2002, Liu and Reinke, 2008, Gambardella et al, 2007, Cho et al, 2006, Morresi et al, 2006, ...…”
