The control over the aggregation of magnetic ions in a non-magnetic semiconductor matrix constitutes a new way to realize semiconductor/ferromagnetic nanocomposites with yet unexplored but striking functionalities. In this work we show that it is possible to obtain a controlled and well-defined arrangement of single-phase magnetic GaxFe4-xN nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a GaN matrix [1]. Depending on the fabrication conditions, a modification of the lattice parameter of the NCs is observed, pointing to the incorporation of Ga into the Fe4N structure and therefore, to the formation of GaFe3N. While Fe4N is a strong FM semi-metal with minority spin-polarization, GaFe3N is a weak AFM material. Our results open the perspectives of this magnetic semiconductor for the demonstration of interesting effects such as spin-pumping for spin current injectors/detectors, anisotropic magnetoresistance and the manipulation of the NCs magnetic moment via an electric field [2].
