Abstract

Low temperature molecular beam epitaxy regrowths of Ga1-xMn xAs (x ≈ 0.04) diluted magnetic semiconductors on GaAs/In 1-yGayP/GaAs(001) and In1-yGa yP/GaAs(001) (y ≈ 0.51) heterostructures prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition are described. The resulting Ga1-xMn xAs properties are comparable to epitaxial films grown directly on GaAs (001) substrates from in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, magnetometry, and transport measurements with magnetic ordering temperature of as-grown films to range between ∼50 and ∼60 K. Postgrowth low temperature annealing enhances both magnetic and transport properties. Perfect etch selectivity between Ga1-xMn xAs/GaAs and In1-xGayP is utilized to realize suspended Ga1-xMnxAs/GaAs doubly clamped beam micromechanical freestanding structures.
