| Popis: | GdN and SmN are two of the lanthanide nitrides, most of which are intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductors. Superlattices comprising the pair offer a unique opportunity to investigate heterojunctions that feature simultaneous conductivity and magnetic interface influences. Here we report an investigation of these influences, using magnetisation and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism for magnetic effects, and magnetoresistance and Hall effect studies of their electrical conductance. Magnetic data show clear signatures of a conflicting Zeeman vs. interfacial exchange and the magnetic disruption that results, while resistivity and Hall measurements show conduction in both GdN and SmN. |
