Popis: Using Mn + implantation following ion beam-induced epitaxial crystallization (IBIEC) annealing, high Curie temperature ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As thin film was fabricated. The crystalline quality of the Mn + implanted layer was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A clear ferromagnetic transition at T c 253 K was observed by magnetization vs. temperature measurement. We infer that IBIEC treatment is a useful method not only for the low-temperature annealing of (Ga,Mn)As thin films but also for other dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) samples.
