Abstract
The successful thin film growth of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) by molecular beam epitaxy has “nucleated” a new field of research in which the DMS material is incorporated in a variety of novel superlattice and quantum well structures. The observation of reflection high energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations in ZnSe and MnSe has enabled the fabrication of ultrathin layered structures involving the “hypothetical” zincblende magnetic semiconductor MnSe. The expected antiferromagnetic ordering of MnSe is increasingly inhibited as the MnSe layer thickness is reduced from ten monolayers to the quasi-2D limit of one monolayer. Further developments include new observations of the epitaxial growth and nucleation of ZnSe, utilizing GaAs epilayers as the substrate material.
