We have investigated the temperature effect on Mn dilution into InSb substrates by means of high-resolution core level spectroscopy, surface EXAFS, and by X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) using synchrotron radiation. Samples were prepared by manganese deposition of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ML at room temperature (RT) and at 500 K on InSb(001) ( )c( ) surfaces. By fitting In 4d and Sb 4d core level spectra with Voigt-functions, we identify metallic In and Sb atoms segregated on the surface. EXAFS results show MnSb-like compound formation with hexagonal structure in which Mn atoms replace some antimony atoms in the first nearest neighbours shell

Abstract

We have investigated the temperature effect on Mn dilution into InSb substrates by means of high-resolution core level spectroscopy, surface EXAFS, and by X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) using synchrotron radiation. Samples were prepared by manganese deposition of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ML at room temperature (RT) and at 500 K on InSb(001) ( )c( ) surfaces. By fitting In 4d and Sb 4d core level spectra with Voigt-functions, we identify metallic In and Sb atoms segregated on the surface. EXAFS results show MnSb-like compound formation with hexagonal structure in which Mn atoms replace some antimony atoms in the first nearest neighbours shell
