Abstract

We have used oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (OPA-MBE) to grow Co_xTi_1-xO₂ anatase on SrTiO₃(001) for x = ∼0.01-0.10, and have measured the structural, compositional, and magnetic properties of the resulting films. Whether epitaxial or polycrystalline, these Co_xTi_1-xO₂ films are ferromagnetic semiconductors at and above room temperature. However, the magnetic and structural properties depend critically on the Co distribution, which varies widely with growth conditions. Co is substitutional in the anatase lattice and in the +2 formal oxidation state in ferromagnetic Co_xTi_1-xO₂. The magnetic properties of OPA-MBE grown material are significantly better than those of analogous pulsed laser deposition-grown material.
