Investigation of the three layer system MgO/Fe/GaAs(001) — •Dominique Handschak1, Tobias Lühr1,2, Frank Schönbohm1,2, Sven Döhring2, Christoph Keutner1,2, Ulf Berges2, and Carsten Westphal1,2 — 1TU-Dortmund, Experimentelle Physik I — 2DELTA, TU-Dortmund
We report a synchrotron high-resolution x-ray photoemission (XPS) and photoelectron diffraction (XPD) study of the three layer system MgO/Fe/GaAs(001). The interface of Fe/GaAs is interesting because it is a semiconductor-ferromagnetic junction, being an interesting model system for research to spintronics. Magnesium oxide is a very efficient insulator which is used especially in TMR-components. Both interfaces have a strong influence on the efficiency of the contributing effects. In this study we report on the preparation process of the three layer system with a GaAs reconstructed surface. The structure of each layer could be clarified with core level high-resolution spectra and diffraction patterns.
