摘要：
We present a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) study of Ga1-x Mn (x) As fabricated by Mn ion implantation (II) into (311) GaAs wafers followed by pulsed-laser melting (PLM). We measured the angular dependence of FMR at 4 K, and the data were then fitted by Stoner-Wohlfarth model to obtain the cubic and uniaxial anisotropy parameters. The observed angular behavior of FMR can be understood in terms of two contributions: a cubic anisotropy field parallel to the aOE (c) 001 > axes, and a uniaxial anisotropy field parallel to the [311] direction. Our results show that the magnetic anisotropy fields in II-PLM (Ga,Mn)As are fundamentally similar to those in Ga1-x Mn (x) As samples grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), indicating that the two different growth methods lead to materials with very similar magnetic properties.
