The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

Spin-polarized light sources are a new class of devices in which the radiative recombination
of spin-polarized carriers results in luminescence exhibiting a net circular polarization. The …

The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology
of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the …

Spin-dependent phenomena in ZnO may lead to devices with new or enhanced
functionality, such as polarized solid-state light sources and sensitive biological and …

Besides adding a new functionality to conventional lasers, spin-polarized lasers can,
potentially, offer lower threshold currents and reach higher emission intensities. However, to …

ZnO is an attractive candidate for spintronics studies because of its potential for exhibiting
high Curie temperatures and the relative lack of ferromagnetic second phases in the …

Semiconducting (mostly p-doped) single crystals of the 6H-polytype of α-SiC (0001) were
implanted with 57 Fe ions with a nominal dose of 1.0× 10 16, 2.0× 10 16, 3.0× 10 16 or 2.0× …

Spin-dependent phenomena in semiconductors may lead to devices with new or enhanced
functionality, such as polarised solid-state light sources (spin light-emitting diodes), novel …

Piezo-phototronic spin lasers are studied based on wurtzite quantum wells. The strain-
induced polarization changes the gain spectrum and gain asymmetry at room temperature …

Cr concentrations of∼ 2 at.% were incorporated into AlN during growth by molecular beam
epitaxy. Under optimized conditions, single-phase, insulating AlCrN is produced whose …
