摘要
We report on a promising approach to the artificial modification of ferromagnetic properties in (Ga,Mn)As using a Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) technique. The ferromagnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As such as magnetic anisotropy and Curie temperature can be controlled using Ga+ ion irradiation, originating from a change in hole concentration and the corresponding systematic variation in exchange interaction between Mn spins. This change in hole concentration is also verified using micro-Raman spectroscopy. We envisage that this approach offers a means of modifying the ferromagnetic properties of magnetic semiconductors on the micro- or nano-meter scale.
