The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of a Cr-doped II-VI semiconductor ZnTe were investigated. Magnetic circular dichroism measurements showed a strong interaction between the sp carriers and localized d spins, indicating that Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te is a diluted magnetic semiconductor. The Curie temperature of the film with x=0.20 was estimated to be 300+/-10 K, which is the highest value ever reported for a diluted magnetic semiconductor in which sp-d interactions were confirmed. In spite of its high Curie temperature, Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te film shows semiconducting electrical transport properties.
研究了Cr掺杂的II-VI族半导体ZnTe的磁性和磁光性质。磁圆二色性测量表明,sp载流子与局域d自旋之间存在强相互作用,这表明Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te是一种稀磁半导体。x = 0.20的薄膜的居里温度估计为300±10 K,这是已报道的确认存在sp-d相互作用的稀磁半导体中的最高值。尽管Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te薄膜具有较高的居里温度,但它仍表现出半导体的电输运性质。
