Abstract

The structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of dilute Mn-doped scandium nitride thin films grown by radio frequency N-plasma molecular beam epitaxy are explored. The results indicate a small magnetization extending up to as high as 350K. There is a slight dependence on the manganese concentration, with the lower Mn concentration showing a larger saturation magnetization.
