- GaMnAs layers with Mn contents from 0.05% to 7% were grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy. At substrate temperatures lower than 300 degrees C and in this composition range a uniform ternary GaMnAs compound can be grown without MnAs precipitation. Reflection high energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations recorded during GaMnAs growth were used to calibrate the composition of the GaMnAs films with high accuracy (better than 0.1%). Films containing more than 1% Mn exhibit a ferromagnetic phase transition with Curie temperatures from a few up to 70 K depending on the composition and other growth parameters. In contrast to previous reports we have observed this transition also in the case of layers grown at very low substrate temperatures (below 300 degrees C).

- GaMnAs layers on (0 0 1)-oriented GaAs substrates were grown by the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. Structural properties of samples processed at up to 920 K under hydrostatic Ar pressure up to 1.1 GPa were investigated by X-ray, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy methods. The sign of strain (compressive or tensile) of the GaMnAs layers, related to a creation of MnAs nanoclusters, is found to be dependent on processing conditions and on primary structure defects, whereas it was independent of Mn concentration. An influence of the defects structure in as-grown samples on the strain state of processed GaMnAs layers is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

- Granular GaAs:(Mn,Ga)As films were prepared by annealing the Ga0.92Mn0.08As/GaAs layer grown by the MBE method at low temperature. The annealing was performed at 500 or 600 degrees C. It is commonly accepted that this processing should result in formation of cubic zinc blende or hexagonal MnAs inclusions depending on the temperature. We demonstrate that such a priory assumption is not justified. The kind of formed inclusions depends not only on the annealing temperature but also on the number of defects and Mn atoms in the substitutional and interstitial positions in as grown sample.

- Structural and magnetic properties of GaAs thin films with embedded nanoclusters were investigated as a function of the annealing temperature and Mn content. Surprisingly, the presence of two kinds of nanoclusters with different structure was detected in most of the samples independently of the thermal processing or Mn content. This proved that the presence of a given type of clusters cannot be assumed a priori as is reported in many papers. The fraction of Mn atoms in each kind of cluster was estimated from the extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. This analysis ruled out the possibility of the existence of nanoclusters containing a hypothetic MnAs cubic compound-only (Ga,Mn)As cubic and hexagonal MnAs clusters were detected. Moreover the bimodal distribution of Mn magnetic moments was found, which scales with the estimated fraction of Mn atoms in the cubic and hexagonal clusters. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

- Granular GaAs:(Mn,Ga)As films were prepared by annealing at 500 degrees C under ambient and enhanced hydrostatic pressure (1.1 GPa), of Ga1-xMnxAs/GaAs layers (x = 0.025, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.063) grown at 230 degrees C by molecular beam epitaxy method. Distinct influence of enhanced hydrostatic pressure applied during sample annealing on strain state of inclusions was found. An increase of lattice distortion and of strain of inclusions for the samples treated under hydrostatic pressure is related to different bulk moduli of GaAs and of MnAs

- Granular GaAs(MnAs) layers with different Mn concentration and various layer thickness were grown by MBE method and subjected to annealing at 500A degrees C under ambient and enhanced hydrostatic pressure. Distinct influence of hydrostatic pressure applied during annealing on strain state of layers as well as on hexagonal MnAs inclusions was found. Pressure induced strain of inclusions is related to different bulk moduli of GaAs and of hexagonal MnAs. Formation of hexagonal inclusions depends on concentration of Mn in interstitial position in as-grown samples.

- The results of structural and magnetic characterization of GaMnSb layers grown on GaSb(0 0 1) and GaAs(1 1 1) substrates are presented. The presence of hexagonal, highly oriented MnSb inclusions embedded in GaSb matrix has been demonstrated. The lattice parameters of these inclusions were the same as those for bulk MnSb for the layers grown on GaSb(1 0 0) substrate while for the layers grown on GaAs(1 1 1) the MnSb inclusions were strained. The influence of a presence of MnSb clusters on the lattice parameter of GaSb matrix has been demonstrated. It was confirmed that in all cases the MnSb clusters exhibit a ferromagnetic: behavior at room temperature. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

- GaMnSb/GaSb(100) layers with embedded MnSb inclusions have been grown at 720 K using MBE technique. This paper presents the investigation of the defect structure of Ga1-xMnxSb layers with different content of manganese (up to x = 0.07). X-ray diffraction method using conventional and synchrotron radiation was applied. Dimensions and shapes of inclusions were detected by scanning electron microscopy. Depth profiles of elements were measured using secondary ion mass spectroscopy technique.
