Metallic magnetoelectronic devices have studied intensively and extensively for last decade because of the scientific interest as well as great technological importance. Recently, the scientific activity in spintronics field is extending to the hybrid devices using ferromagnetic/semiconductor heterostructures and to new ferromagnetic semiconductor materials for future devices. In case of the hybrid device, conductivity mismatch problem for metal/semiconductor interface will be able to circumvent when the device operates in ballistic regime. In this respect, spin-valve transistor, first reported by Monsma, is based on spin dependent transport of hot electrons rather than electron near the Fermi energy. Although the spin-valve transistor showed large magnetocurrent ratio more than 300%, but low transfer ratio of the order of 10$\^$-5/ prevents the potential applications. In order to enhance the collector current, we have prepared magnetic tunneling transistor (MTT) with single ferromagnetic base on Si(100) collector by magnetron sputtering process. We have changed the resistance of tunneling emitter and the thickness of baser layer in the MTT structure to increase collector current. The high transfer ratio of 10$\^$-4/ range at bias voltage of more than 1.8 V, collector current of near l ${\mu}$A, and magnetocurrent ratio or 55% in Si-based MTT are obtained at 77K. These results suggest a promising candidate for future spintronic applications.

FeM2X4 spinel structures, where M is a transition metal and X is oxygen or sulfur, are candidate materials for spin filters, one of the key devices in spintronics. Both the Fe and M ions can occupy tetrahedral and octahedral sites; therefore, these types of compounds can display various physical and chemical properties [1]. On the other hand, the electronic and magnetic properties of these spinel structures could be modified via the control of cation distribution [2, 3]. Among the spinel oxides, iron manganese oxide is one of promising materials for applications. FeMn2O4 shows inverse spinel structure above 390 K and ferrimagnetic properties below the temperature [4]. In this work, we report on the structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial FeMn2O4 thin film on MgO(100) substrate. The reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that films were epitaxially grown on MgO(100) without the impurity phases. The valance states of Fe and Mn in the FeMn2O4 film were carried out using x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), indicating that the samples are ferromagnetic at room temperature. The structural detail and origin of magnetic ordering in FeMn2O4 will be discussed.

Recently, ZnO has received attentionbecause of its applications in optoelectronics and spintronics. In order to investigate deep level defects in ZnO, we used N-doped ZnO with various of the N-doping concentration. which are reference samples (undoped ZnO), 27%, 49%, and 88%-doped ZnO. Photoinduced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS) measurement was carried out to find deep level traps in high resistive ZnO:N. In reference ZnO sample, a deep trap was found to located at 0.31 (as denoted as the CO trap) eV below conduction band edge. And the CN1 and CN2 traps were located at 0.09, at 0.17 eV below conduction band edge, respectively. In the case of both annealed samples at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$, the defect density of the CO trap increases and then decreases with an increase of N-doping concentration. On the other hands, the density of CN traps has little change according to an increase of N-doping concentration in the annealed sample at $300^{\circ}C$. According to the result of PICTS measurement for different N-doping concentration, we suggest that the CO trap could be controled by N-doping and the CN traps be stabilized by thermal annealing at $300^{\circ}C$.

반응성 스퍼터링 방법으로 성장시킨 $Zn_{0.09}Cr_{0.01}O$ 묽은 자성반도체 박막의 구조와 전기 수송과 자기 특성에 미치는 Al 첨가 효과를 탐구하였다. Al이 첨가되지 않은 $Zn_{0.09}Cr_{0.01}O$ 박막은 반도체적인 수송 특성과 함께 미약한 강자성 특성을 보였다. Al을 첨가함으로써 n-형 나르개인 전자의 농도 증가와 더불어 금속성 수송 특성을 나타냈으며 포화자기화가 현저하게 증가하고 이력곡선이 뚜렷하게 나타나는 등 자기 특성의 격렬한 변화가 관찰되었다. 이 결과들은 Cr이 첨가된 ZnO에서 나르개에 의한 강자성 질서의 향상을 보여준다.

단층 $MoS_2$는 1H 상을 가질 때 에너지적으로 가장 안정하다고 알려져 있지만, 전자선 등을 이용하여 에너지를 가하면 1T 상으로 상전이를 일으킬 수 있다. 1T 상도 1H 상과 마찬가지로 상자성 상태가 에너지적으로 안정하지만 1H $MoS_2$에 국소적인 1T 상이 존재하는 구조는 자성을 가질 수 있음을 알았다. 본 연구에서 도입한 ($2{\times}2$) 초격자에 2H와 1T가 3 : 1의 비율로 존재하는 국소 1T 구조 일 때 계산된 자기모멘트는 약 $0.049{\mu}_B/MoS_2$이었으며, 초격자 내의 1T 환경의 Mo 원자가 대부분의 자기모멘트를 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 단층 $MoS_2$ 내에 자연스러운 자성/비자성 경계가 생성되므로 단층 $MoS_2$가 스핀트로닉스 소자로 응용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

실리콘 기판위에 성장된 ZnO 나노막대에 NiO를 코팅하여 core-shell 형태의 나노막대를 제작하였다. 이렇게 제작된 나노막대를 수소 분위기에서 열처리한 결과 ZnO 나노막대 표면에 Ni 나노점들이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 여러 종류의 나노막대의 저온(5K)에서 광발광 (photoluminescence) 특성을 연구하였는데 $ZnO{\rightarrow}NiO-ZnO{\rightarrow}Ni$ 나노점-ZnO 순서로 시료가 변화함에 따라 속박된 exciton들의 전이 에너지와 진폭이 변화함을 확인하였다. ZnO에 비하여 NiO-ZnO 시료의 경우 받개에 속박된 exciton ($A^0X$) 전이가 크게 감소함을 보이나 Ni 나노점-ZnO 시료의 경우 $A^0X$ 전이가 가장 우세함을 보인다. 이러한 현상은 수소화 과정에서 침투한 Ni과 수소 이온이 주개로 작용하였기 때문이다.

Multiferroic materials have been widely studied in recent years, because of their abundant physics and potential applications in the sensors, data storage, and spintronics. $BiFeO_3$ is one of the well-known single-phase multiferroic materials with $ABO_3$ structure and G-type antiferromagnetic behavior below the Neel temperature $T_N$ ~ 643 K, but the ferroelectric behavior below the Curie temperature $T_c$~1,103 K. In this study, the $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ (x=0 and 0.05) bulk ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction and rapid sintering with high-purity $Bi_2O_32$, $Fe_3O_4$ and NiO powders. The powders of stoichiometric proportions were mixed, as in the previous investigations, and calcined at 450$^{\circ}C$ for $BiFe_{1-x}Ni_xO_3$ for 24 h. The obtained powders were grinded, and pressed into 5-mm-thick disks of 1/2-inch diameter. The disks were directly put into the oven, which has been heated up to 800$^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 20 min. The sintered disks were taken out from the oven and cooled to room temperature within several min. The phase of samples was checked at room temperature by powder x-ray diffraction using a Rigaku Miniflex diffractometer with Cu K${\alpha}$ radiation. The Raman measurements were carried out by employing a hand-made Raman spectrometer with 514.5-nm-excitation $Ar^+$ laser source under air ambient condition on a focused area of 1-${\mu}m$ diameter. The field-dependent magnetization measurements were performed with a superconducting quantum-interference-device magnetometer.

The spin-orbit interaction has received great attention in the field of spintronics, because of its property and applicability. For instance, the spin-orbit interaction induces spin precession which is the key element of spin transistor proposed by Datta and Das, since frequency of precession can be controlled by electric field. The spin-orbit interaction is classified according to its origin, Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit interaction. In particular, the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is induced by inversion asymmetry of quantum well structure and the slope of conduction band represents the strength of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The strength of spin-orbit interaction is experimentally obtained from the Shubnikov de Hass (SdH) oscillation. The SdH oscillation is resistance change of channel for perpendicular magnetic field as a result of Zeeman spin splitting of Landau level, quantization of cyclotron motion by applied magnetic field. The frequency of oscillation is different for spin up and down due to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Consequently, the SdH oscillation shows the beat patterns. In many research studies, the spin-orbit interaction was treated as a tool for electrical manipulation of spin. On the other hands, it can be considered that the Rashba field, effective magnetic field induced by Rashba effect, may interact with external magnetic field. In order to investigate this issue, we utilized InAs quantum well layer, sandwiched by InGaAs/InAlAs as cladding layer. Then, the SdH oscillation was observed with tilted magnetic field in y-z plane. The y-component (longitudinal term) of applied magnetic field will interact with the Rashba field and the z-component (perpendicular term) will induce the Zeeman effect. As a result, the strength of spin-orbit interaction was increased (decreased), when applied magnetic field is parallel (anti-parallel) to the Rashba field. We found a possibility to control the spin precession with magnetic field.

Couplings between electric, magnetic, and structural order parameters result in the so-called multiferroic phenomena with two or more ferroic phenomena such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, or ferroelasticity. The simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism (magnetoelectricity) permits potential applications in information storage, spintronics, and magnetic or electric field sensors. The perovskite BiFeO3(BFO) is known to be antiferromagnetic below the Neel temperature of 647K and ferroelectric with a high Curie temperature of 1043K. It exhibits weak magnetism at room temperature due to the residual moment from a canted spin structure. It is likely that non-stoichiometry and second-phase formation are the factors responsible for leakage current in BFO. It has been suggested that oxygen non-stoichiometry leads to valence fluctuations of Fe ions in BFO, resulting in high conductivity. To reduce the large leakage current of BFO, one attempt is to make donor-doped BFO compounds and thin films. In this study, (Bi1-x,Ndx)(Fe1-y,Tiy)O3 thin films have been deposited on Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The effect of dopants on the phase evolution and surface morphology are analyzed. Furthermore, electrical and magnetic properties are measured and their coupling characteristics are discussed.

MBE장비를 이용하여 Mn과 Be nux의 변화를 주면서 Be-codoped GaMnAs를 성장시켰다. Mn flux의 범위는 고용체 특성의 GaMnAs에서, 과도한 nux에 의해 이차상이 형성된 상태까지 변화를 주면서 성장시켰다. Be병행 도핑 효과 연구를 위해 두 가지의 Be flux에서 박막을 성장하여 박막의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 과도한 Be도핑을 통해 금속성의 전도를 가지는 상태와, 상대적으로 적은 양의 도핑을 통해 캐리어의 수는 증가하였으나 반도체 전도를 보이는 상태이다. 적은 양의 Be이 병행 도핑된 GaMnAs의 경우, 상온에서 강자성 특성을 보였으나, 이차상 형성에 의한 전기 비저항의 증가와 작은 자기저항에 의해 자기 수송특성을 관찰하지 못했다. 그러나 많은 Be도핑에 의해 금속 거동을 보이는 경우에는 많은 수의 캐리어와 전기 전도토의 증가로 인해 자기 수송 특성을 관찰할 수 있었다. Be병행 도핑은 GaAs 기지 내에 효과적으로 캐리어를 공급하고, 이차상 MnAs 뿐만 아니라 MnGa의 형성을 촉진하는 것으로 생각된다.
