摘要
以高纯Al粉和N2为原料,采用电弧法在原位成功合成微米球状室温铁磁性Al N稀磁半导体粉体。X-射线衍射仪(XRD)测试表明,Al N粉体为六方纤锌矿结构;扫描电子显微镜(SEM)显示Al N粉体微米片平均尺寸在2~40μm,微米球平均尺寸在3~30μm;电子能量散射谱(EDS)表明,Al N粉体由Al和N元素组成,且N不足;光致发光谱(PL)测试表明,Al N粉体发光主要由N空位和本征缺陷等引起的发光峰;振动样品磁强计(VSM)测试表明Al N粉体具有室温铁磁性,饱和磁化强度和矫顽力分别为130.0 A/m和13.68 k A/m。在950°C氨气气氛下退火8 h后,饱和磁化强度和矫顽力分别为48.6 A/m和8.536 k A/m。缺陷在引起Al N稀磁半导体粉体的铁磁性上扮演着重要的角色。
Al N diluted magnetic semiconductor powders( DMSs) with microspheres room temperature( RT)ferromagnetism were successfully synthesized in situ by arc method with high purity Al powder and N2 as reaction materials. X-ray diffraction( XRD) test showed that Al N powder was hexagonal wurtzite structure. Scanning electron microscopy( SEM) showed that the average particle size of Al N powders microsheets was in the range of 2-40 and the average particle size of Al N powders microspheres was in the range of 3-30. Al N powders composition of Al and N was observed by an energy dispersive spectrometer( EDS) and N was insufficient. The Photoluminescence( PL) spectra of Al N powder showed that the luminescence of Al N powder was mainly caused by defects such as N vacancy and intrinsic defects. The vibrating sample magnetometer( VSM) showed that Al N powder exhibited increased ferromagnetism at room temperature,the saturation magnetization and coercivity were 130. 0 A/m and 13. 68 k A/m,respectively. After annealing at 950 °C ammonia atmosphere for 8 h,the saturation magnetization and coercivity were 48. 6 A/m and 8. 536 k A/m,respectively. We considered that the related defects play an important role to contribute for ferromagnetic order in Al N DMSs powders.
