Dilute magnetic semiconductor is melted into a whole the semiconducting behavior and the magnetic performance of material, is expected to develop in fields such as magnetoelectricity, magneto-optic and magneto-optic electricity have that speed is fast, low in energy consumption, integrated level is high and the Multifunction spin electric device of characteristics such as non-volatile.Yet prepare the spin electric device with practicability, it is an essential condition that the Curie temperature of rare magnetic material is higher than room temperature.So the dilute magnetic semiconductor with the above Curie temperature of room temperature is subjected to researcher's extensive concern.
Nearest theory and experimental study show: the GaN sill of doping transiting group metal elements or rare earth element is hopeful to obtain the above ferromagnetism of room temperature most, and has obtained the achievement in research that attracts people's attention.At present, the GaN based diluted magnetic semiconductor all is the polar surface material along the growth of c axle.Recently, the nonpolar face GaN material enjoys the researcher to pay close attention to owing to can significantly improving the photoelectric device performance.Had correlative study to show, because the difference of surface atom structure, one-tenth bond energy, p-type doped chemical Mg, transiting group metal elements and the doping efficiency of rare-earth metals element in the non-polar GaN material are more high accordingly than common c face GaN material.
Theoretical Calculation shows simultaneously, high hole concentration and high doped chemical solid solubility help improving the Curie temperature and the ferromagnetic property of non-polar GaN-based dilute magnetic semiconductor material, so we think that non-polar GaN-based dilute magnetic semiconductor material is expected to obtain the ferromagnetic property more more superior than polar GaN base diluted magnetic semiconductor material.
In addition, because polarity crystal orientation [0001] is included in the GaN non-polar plane, cause intra-face anisotropies such as nonpolar face GaN film lattice structure, stress, polarization intensity to distribute, thereby cause the anisotropy of nonpolar face GaN pellicular front inner structure, optics, electricity and magnetic property.These character still are that the device application field all is significant in theory research.
