Real space probe of short-range interaction between Cr in a ferromagnetic semiconductor ZnCrTe

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The short-range interaction between Cr atoms was directly examined by scanning tunneling microscopy measurements on a Zn(0.95)Cr(0.05)Te film. Our measurements revealed that a Cr atom formed a localized state within the bandgap of ZnTe and this state was broadened for a pair of Cr atoms within a distance of ∼ 1 nm.
