Magnon dispersion, magnetization, and thermodynamic properties of 2D-Sc/GaAs diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS)
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the effect of magnon scattering, light–matter coupling strength, temperature, and applied dc field H0 on magnon dispersion, density of magnons, magnetization, and thermodynamic properties of 2D-Sc/GaAs DMS material is studied. The Green function formalism is used to find the magnon dispersion and density in single-mode excitation employing the quantum field theory. Our findings indicate that ferromagnetic phase change is obtained within a limited low-temperature range based on the product Ω0T5/2, which remains below unity and varies with the amount of magnon scattering factor Ω0. It was presumed that the density of localized magnetic impurities can be controlled by taking into account the numerical stability with the number of holes required for mediation, and therefore, a scandium (Sc) dopant and its kind, which have a double functionality of creating holes and adding magnetic impurities from their 3d suborbital, are the best choice to replace those with higher spin magnetic moments. We also observe that the magnetic curves broaden as the temperature further rises and decrease with the enhancement of the magnon scattering factor, perhaps, due to quenching of fermionic spins ceasing the interband excitation. However, in the absence of this factor, the magnetization decreases linearly with the increase in the temperature, breaking the Bloch T3/2 low, perhaps, introducing anomalous condition to such 2D materials. The light–matter coupling strength and the dc field H0 are alleged to be responsible for the formation of the energy gap and variation of magnon dispersion. This work suggests that there is a point above which the temperature TC may not rise with the increase in the impurity concentration x due to magnon scattering, distressing the entire thermodynamic property.
