Description

Extension Ti with low temperature magnetic electricresistance effect 0.53Cr 0.47N thin-film material and preparation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the spintronics material technology, particularly a kind of novel ferromagnetic material and preparation method who has than high spinning polarizability more specifically, is a kind of Ti with low temperature magnetic electricresistance effect 0.53Cr 0.47N epitaxial thin film material and preparation method.
Background technology
In recent years, owing to have huge application prospect at magnetic information storage with aspect reading, the spintronics material receives much concern.Nobel Prize in physics in 2007 has been authorized initiator Albert Fert and two professors of Peter Gr ü nberg of spintronics.Now, the electric current that how to obtain high spin-polarization remains one of the hot issue in spintronics field.Obtain the way that high-spin injects and mainly contain the electrode materials of selecting high spinning polarizability, the ferromagnetic substance with high spinning polarizability that particularly can be combined with each other with semiconductor material.
First principle calculates and shows Fe 3O 4, La 1-xA xMnO 3(LAMO, A are alkaline earth element Ca, Sr and Ba etc.), CrO 2, the material such as NiMnSb energy band structure between metal and isolator, be called as semi-metallic.For a spin direction, the energy band structure of semi-metallic has metallic character, has certain density of states(DOS) near Fermi surface; And to another kind of spin direction, its energy band structure has the isolator characteristic, near Fermi surface density of states(DOS) be zero or electronics be localization.Therefore, theoretically, semi-metallic should have 100% spin polarizability.But up to now, for Fe 3O 4Material does not obtain high spin polarizability experimentally, does not know Fe yet 3O 4Whether has the semi-metal characteristic, especially at ambient temperature.LAMO and CrO 2The Curie temperature of material is all lower, can not satisfy the requirement of practical application.The complicated structure of Heusler alloy, price are also somewhat expensive, are not easy preparation, and are unfavorable for actual production.Therefore, seeking the Novel iron magnetic pole material with high spinning polarizability is key factor and the study hotspot that further develops the spintronics device.
The titanium nitride crystal belongs to isometric system, face-centred cubic structure, its lattice parameter a=0.42173nm.Titanium nitride membrane has excellent machinery, heat, electricity and antiseptic property, because hardness is high, frictional coefficient is low, is widely used as the wear-resisting modified layer of mould, cutter etc.; Because resistance to wear, antiseptic property is good, fusing point is high, high-temperature stability is good, is widely used in the aerospace component such as aircraft and rocket; Because conduction, good heat conductivity are commonly used for the blocking layer in microelectronic.If magnetic element is doped in the titanium nitride system, if obtain namely have the material that magnetic has conduction, will promote the new purposes of titanium nitride material.
At present, the people such as K.Inumaru that only have Japan in the experiment both domestic and external report prepare in the TiN epitaxial film that high-Cr mixes at the employing pulse laser sediment methods of APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS 91,152501 (2007) upper reports and find the magneto-resistor phenomenon; They have also found same phenomenon in the TiN sosoloid of having reported the high-Cr doping of adopting the chemical process preparation on the PHYSICAL REVIEW B 78,052406 (2008) for comparative study.But the Curie temperature of sample is lower than room temperature, can not reach the requirement of practical application.In addition, be main mainly with thin-film material in the practical application, the preparation method adopts sputtering method more.But up to the present in the world not about adopting sputtering method to prepare the relevant report of Cr doped Ti N epitaxial film.
