Objectif
The Fertile project addresses the research and development of ferromagnetic semiconductor materials and heterostructures as a novel materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications. The objectives of the project are the realisation of ferromagnetic semiconductors based on GaAs and GaN. We aim at developing these materials using Molecular Beam Epitaxial growth and to fully characterize the magnetic, electrical and optical properties. Further, the experimental effort is supported by theoretical modelling of all-important physical properties. Based on the achievements in uniform thin film growth and the predictions from theoretical work, various heterostructures will be fabricated. This will enable to explore the potential of novel devices based on the electronic spin degree of freedom provided by the ferromagnetic semiconductor materials, which is not yet fully exploited in todays (opto-) electronic components
