We report electrical transport and optical spectroscopy measurements on LuN thin films variously doped with nitrogen vacancies along with the computed band structures of …
The rare-earth nitrides are the only series of intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductors where the interplay of spin and unquenched orbital angular momentum provides access to a range …
SmN is an intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor with electrical transport properties that have been of recent experimental interest. Its conductivity is largely dictated by the …

A unique bulk-origin perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) is reported in thin films of the cubic ferromagnetic semiconductor Gd x Sm 1− x N. PMA behavior is clearly signaled by in …
The rare-earth nitride ferromagnetic semiconductors owe their varying magnetic properties to the progressive filling of the 4 f shell across the series. Recent electrical transport …

We demonstrate growth of epitaxial (100) SmN thin films directly on (100) Si surfaces. By using physical vapor deposition of Sm metal in an N 2 atmosphere we show that careful …
We investigate the previously observed superconductivity in ferromagnetic SmN in the context of the breakdown of order between two magnetic phases. Nitrogen vacancy doped …
We report on the effect of the nitrogen to rare earth (N 2/RE) flux ratio on the structural, transport, and magnetic properties of samarium nitride (SmN) and dysprosium nitride (DyN) …
