摘要
Local structures around Mn atoms in MnF<sub>2sub>–CaF<sub>2sub> superlattices and double heterostructures (DHSs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were investigated by fluorescence extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurement. The EXAFS analysis revealed that in thin MnF<sub>2sub> layers (≤3 ML) fluorite structure that does not exist at normal conditions prevailed over the rutile structure, and the content ratio of the fluorite MnF<sub>2sub> strongly depended on the thickness of the MnF<sub>2sub> layer. Therefore, the thin MnF<sub>2sub> layers grew in fluorite structure on CaF<sub>2sub> and changed to the rutile structure with the increase of the MnF<sub>2sub> layer thickness.
