Abstract

We present the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of epitaxial (Ga,Mn)N films with nominal Mn concentration (x = 0.1-0.73%) grown by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy (PEMBE). X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that (Ga,Mn)N has the single-phase wurtzite structure without secondary phases. The epitaxial (Ga,Mn)N films were found to exhibit n-type conductivity, ferromagnetic ordering with Curie temperature in the range 550 - 700 K, and in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The negative magnetoresistance (MR) was observed at temperatures below 50 K and was found to gradually increase with decreasing temperature.
