dc.description.abstract | In this work, the Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by a colloidal method. TEM images reveal that Fe3O4 MNPs are spherical in shape with a narrow size distribution in the range of 6-7 nm. These MNPs were used in the fabrication of two types of n-GaAs-based structures: (i) Fe3O4/n-GaAs (reference); and (ii) Fe3O4/PPF/n-GaAs. We present that carbon-based pyrolyzed polymer films (PPFs), as a buffer layer, can control the electrical characteristics of a conventional Fe3O4/n-GaAs device. The behaviour of the apparent barrier height and ideality factor with the interfacial layer due to the presence of the interface state density is discussed. PPF raises the barrier height in a Fe3O4/PPF/n-GaAs half-metallic/insulator/semiconductor (h-MIS) device as high as 0.62 +/- 0.002 eV. Furthermore, Fe3O4/PPF interfaces exhibit unique electronic properties including high-quality interface, low series resistance (from 17.73 k Omega to 85.66 Omega) and extremely low interface state density (1.76 x 10(12) eV(-1) cm(-2)). Compared to the electrical performance for the Fe3O4/n-GaAs junction, that for the Fe3O4/PPF/n-GaAs junction was enhanced. | en_US |
