Growth and characterisation of Fe thin films on GaN(0001) — •Stephen Krzyk1, Mikhail Fonin1, Reza Ghadimi2, Ralph Meijers3, Gernot Güntherodt2, and Ulrich Rüdiger11Fachbereich Physik, Universität Konstanz, 78457 — 2II.

We report growth studies of Fe on wurtzite GaN(0001) with respect to structural and magnetic properties. The growth of Fe has been carried out by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in ultra high vacuum (UHV). The Fe films were studied by a number of characterization techniques such as low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and superconducting quantum interference device SQUID magnetometry. Despite the large lattice mismatch between Fe and wurtzite GaN epitaxial growth of Fe(110) was achieved. A strong dependence of the crystalline structure of the Fe films on the annealing parameters of the GaN substrates and the thickness of the grown films was observed. SQUID measurements showed ferromagnetic behaviour of the Fe films up to room temperature.
