Wegscheider, C.H. Back. - In: PHYSICAL REVIEW. B, CONDENSED MATTER AND MATERIALS PHYSICS. - ISSN 1098-0121. - 74:10(2006), pp. 104421.1-104421.5. [10.1103/PhysRevB.74.104421]
Abstract:
We present a surface science study on carefully characterized Gax Mn1-x As films grown on GaAs(100), where we investigate the influence on magnetic properties of different surface cleaning procedures. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals a net remnant magnetization along the (100) axis, after chemical etching is performed. The analysis of Mn L2,3 XAS line shapes in different environment indicates that Mn in Gax Mn1-x As behaves as a bulk impurity. By exploiting the different depth sensitivity between x-ray photoemission and x-ray absorption we observe the presence of a Mn depleted layer at the surface after etching.
