STM investigation of MBE-grown GaMnAs — •Henning Gutzmann, Andrea Stemmann, Florian Adler, Jens Wiebe, Felix Marczinowski, Christian Heyn, Wolfgang Hansen, and Roland Wiesendanger — Hamburg University, Institute of Applied Physics, Jungiusstr. 9-11, D-20355 Hamburg, Germany

The detailed understanding of the hole mediated magnetic coupling in Mn doped III-V semiconductors is an important step towards room temperature ferromagnetism in semiconductors. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) has already been used to detect the exchange interaction between Mn acceptors in GaAs [1]. We want to extend this method and directly image the magnetization of Mn in GaAs using spin-polarized STS at low temperatures [2]. The (001) oriented samples are grown in the Hamburg molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) facility. We built a mobile ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) transfer-system which is used to transfer the samples from the MBE into our scanning tunneling microscope (STM) facility [3]. We present the concept of the UHV-transfer system and show first STM measurements at room temperature.
