The electronic structure of doped Mn in (Ga,Mn)As is studied by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. From configuration-interaction cluster-model calculations, the line shapes of the Mn L3 resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra can be explained by d-d excitations from the Mn ground state dominated by charge-transferred states, in which hole carriers are bound to the Mn impurities, rather than a pure acceptor Mn2+ ground state. Unlike archetypical d-d excitation, the peak widths are broader than the experimental energy resolution. We attribute the broadening to a finite lifetime of the d-d excitations, which decay rapidly to electron-hole pairs in the host valence and conduction bands through the hybridization of the Mn 3d orbital with the ligand band.
通过共振非弹性X射线散射研究了(Ga,Mn)As中掺杂Mn的电子结构。根据组态相互作用团簇模型计算,Mn L3共振非弹性X射线散射光谱的线形可以用由电荷转移态主导的Mn基态的d-d激发来解释,其中空穴载流子与Mn杂质结合,而不是纯受主Mn2+基态。与典型的d-d激发不同,峰宽比实验能量分辨率宽。我们将这种展宽归因于d-d激发的有限寿命,其通过Mn 3d轨道与配体带的杂化迅速衰变为主体价带和导带中的电子-空穴对。
