Popis: Chromium ions implantation was performed into metal–organic chemical vapor deposition grown GaN thin film of thickness about 2 µm at 5 × 1016 cm−2 fluence. Implantation was performed at various substrate temperatures (RT, 250, 350 °C). Rapid thermal annealing was employed at 900 °C to remove implantation-induced damages as well as for activation of dopant. Structural study was performed by Rutherford backscattering and channeling spectrometry and high-resolution X-ray diffraction. To confirm magnetic properties at room temperature, hysteresis loops were obtained using alternating gradient magneto-meter. Well-defined hysteresis loops were achieved at 300 K in implanted and annealed samples. Temperature-dependent magnetization indicated magnetic moment at 5 K and retain up to 380 K.
