Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of a bulk form diluted magnetic semiconductor, (La1-xCax)(Zn1-yMny)AsO, with a two dimensional crystal structure isostructural to that of the 1111 type Fe-based high-temperature superconductor LaFeAsO and the antiferromagnetic LaMnAsO. With Ca and Mn codoping into LaZnAsO, the ferromagnetic ordering occurs below the Curie temperature TC approximately} 30 K. Taking advantage of the decoupled charge and spin doping, we investigate the influence of carrier concentration on the ferromagnetic ordering state. For a fixed Mn concentration of 10 %, TC increases from 24 K to 30 K with Ca concentration increases from 5 % to 10 %. Further enhancement of Ca concentration suppresses both coercive field and saturation moment. υon spin relaxation measurements confirm the ferromagnetic ordering state, and clearly demonstrate that (La1-xCax)(Zn1-yMny)AsO share a common mechanism for the ferromagnetic exchange interaction with (Ga,Mn)As. Neutron scattering measurements show no structural transition in (La0:90Ca0:10)(Zn0:90Mn0:10)AsO below 300 K.
