Electronic structure of In1xMnxAs studied by photoemission spectroscopy: Comparison with Ga1xMnxAs

Abstract
We have investigated the electronic structure of the p-type diluted magnetic semiconductor In1xMnxAs by photoemission spectroscopy. The Mn 3d partial density of states is found to be basically similar to that of Ga1xMnxAs. However, the impurity-band-like states near the top of the valence band have not been observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy unlike Ga1xMnxAs. This difference would explain the difference in transport, magnetic and optical properties of In1xMnxAs and Ga1xMnxAs. The different electronic structures are attributed to the weaker Mn 3dAs4p hybridization in In1xMnxAs than in Ga1xMnxAs.
