Abstract

The annealing-temperature (700-900 °C) dependence of the ferromagnetism of manganese-implanted silicon is investigated. In the annealed samples, the manganese-containing nanoparticles, whose mean size was found to get bigger with temperature, are formed and these samples show ferromagnetism. We obtain evidence that the samples annealed at 800-850 °C produce two kinds of ferromagnets and that one of them offers a coercivity as high as 2500 Oe, suggesting the possibility of Si-based nanostructures with stable ferromagnetism. The origin of these ferromagnetisms is also discussed in conjunction with the size distribution of the nanoparticles.
