Ga-deficient GaN epitaxial films were grown onto (00•1) sapphire substrates using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy, and experimental evidence of room temperature ferromagnetic behavior was found. The observed yellow emission peak in room temperature photoluminescence spectra and the peak positioning at 300 /cm in Raman spectra confirms the existence of Ga vacancies. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements further confirmed the formation of Ga vacancies; since the N/Ga was found to be >1. The ferromagnetism was believed to originate from the polarization of the unpaired 2p electrons of N surrounding the Ga vacancy.Experimental Evidence of Ga-Vacancy Induced Room Temperature Ferromagnetic Behavior in GaN Films.
