Abstract

Description

We have studied growth and properties of quaternary alloy magnetic semiconductor (InGaMn)As grown both on GaAs substrates and on InP substrates by low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy (LT-MBE). (InGaMn)As thin films were ferromagnetic below ~30 K, exhibiting strong magneto-optical effect. The lattice constant of [(InyGa1-y)1-xMnx]As, whose Mn concentration x is below 4%, is slightly smaller than that of InyGa1-yAs with the same In/Ga content ratio. We have also obtained very smooth surface morphology of nearly lattice matched (InGaMn)As thin films grown on InP substrates, which is important for application to thin-film type magneto-optical devices integrated with III-V opto-electronics.
