Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors (DMS) are interesting materials for spintronics due to the combination of semiconducting and magnetic properties. A promising candidate in this field is transition metal doped ZnO, since this material systems allows for ferromagnetism at room temperature. Very recently, the observed room temperature ferromagnetism in ZnO-based DMS was explained by Venkatesan et al. [1] in term of a model based on a narrow impurity band.
Whereas in usual DMS the magnetic ions are distributed statistically within the semiconducting matrix, in our work we want to artificially synthesize a new class of DMS by growing epitaxial heterostructures consisting of semiconducting and magnetic materials. We present our first steps in this direction based on heterostructures consisting of ZnO and magnetic materials. The samples are prepared by UHV pulsed laser deposition and are characterized by SQUID-magnetometry, transport measurements and transmission electron microscopy.
This work is supported by the DFG via SPP 1157.
