In this work, Mn atoms are doped into GaN nanorods by two doping types, homogeneous and delta doping, and GaN nanorods are grown on Si (111) substrate using plasma-assisted MBE. The GaMnN nanorods are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), Raman scattering, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
The Mn delta-doping GaN nanorods with Ga/Mn growth time ratio 20 are approximately 1500 nm in height, grown along the c-axis. The Mn concentration in nanorods is determined to be 0.83% by EDS, without secondary phase formation. The Mn atoms substitute Ga sites in the GaN wurtzite hexagonal structure and, according to the results of Raman, there is no observable Mn-N cluster formation existed. The delta-doping structure, without secondary phase inclusions, can be observed under TEM imaging of the nanorods. The nanorods appear to show ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature, as judged by the M-H with hysteresis curve, however the small the loops are. The delta-doping is adopted in this thesis work to fabricate GaMnN DMS nanorods without secondary phase formation.
