Research Update: Strain and composition effects on ferromagnetism of Mn0.05Ge0.95 quantum dots

Mn0.05Ge0.95 quantum dots (QDs) samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates and 15-nm-thick fully strained Si0.8Ge0.2 virtual substrates, respectively. The QDs samples grown on the Si0.8Ge0.2 virtual substrates show a significant ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature of 227 K, wh...
