Abstract

The formation of ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxAs films were demonstrated by Mn ion implantation into GaAs followed by pulsed-laser melting. The remanent magnetization persisting above 85K was observed for samples with x≈0.10, in which 40% of the Mn resides on substitutional lattice sites. The ferromagnetism in Ga1-xMnxAs was found robust to the presence of structural defects.
