Electronic structure and magnetism of Mn dopants in GaN nanowires: Ensemble vs single nanowire measurements

View through CrossRef
We studied the electronic structure and magnetization of Mn dopants in GaN nanowires at the ensemble and single nanowire levels by near edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies. The results of single nanowire measurements indicate that Mn adopts tetrahedral coordination in GaN nanowires and has mixed oxidation state (Mn2+/Mn3+), with Mn2+ being in relative majority. Ensemble nanowire spectra suggest co-deposition of Mn secondary phases alongside nanowires. Single nanowire x-ray magnetic circular dichroism indicates intrinsic magnetic ordering of Mn dopants at 300 K. In contrast, as-grown nanowire samples show only residual magnetization, due to nanowire orientation dependence of magnetization.
