On the understanding of the microscopic origin of the properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors by atom probe tomography

Journal article

Spintronics, in which both the spin and charge of electrons are used for logic and memory operations, promises to revolutionize the current information technology. Just as silicon supports microelectronics, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) will be the platform of spintronics. Ideal DMSs should maintain ferromagnetic and semiconducting properties at operating temperatures to realize the spintronic functions. Although many high-temperature Curie temperature DMSs have been reported, the or...
