  • Recent experimental evidence that fluorinated graphene creates local magnetic moments around F adatoms has not been supported by semilocal density-functional theory (DFT) calculations where the adsorption of an F adatom induces no magnetic moment in graphene. Here, we show that such an incorrect prediction of the nonmagnetic ground state is due to the self-interaction error inherent in semilocal exchange-correlation functionals. The present hybrid DFT calculation for an F adatom on graphene predicts not only a spin-polarized ground state with a spin moment of ${\sim}1{\mu}_B$, but also a long-range spin polarization caused by the bipartite nature of the graphene lattice as well as the induced spin polarization of the graphene states. The results provide support for the experimental observations of local magnetic moments in fluorinated graphene.

  • Here, I report solid state Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) of $^1H$ nuclear spins at 0.3 T and 4.2 K. The DNP polarizer was developed based on a commercial X-band Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) modified for DNP, in combination with a NMR console and a liquid-Helium cryostat. By detuning magnetic field, DNP spectrum was measured to find the optimal condition. At +3 mT detuned from on-resonance field, $^1H$ NMR signal of 60:40 glycerol/water frozen solution doped with 20 mM perdeuterated-Tempone was amplified 43 times. The $^1H$ spin polarization obtained at 4.2 K is over 3100 times higher than that at 300 K. The width of the DNP spectrum, which is five times broader than ESR spectrum, is inconsistent with solid effect or thermal mixing, and presumably suggests a different DNP mechanism.

  • We investigated the fabrication and characteristics of spin-polarized LEDs based on GaN using (Ga,Mn)N as spin injection source. (Ga,Mn)N thin films were found to exhibit the ferromagnetic ordering above room temperature and the negative MR up to room temperature. The electrical characteristics in spin LEDs did not degraded in spite of the insertion of (Ga,Mn)N films. In EL spectra of spin LEDs, it is confirmed that spin LEDs emit the strong light at 7 K as well as room temperature. These results suggest that it is possible to emit spin-polarized light in our spin LEDs.

  • We investigated the fabrication and characteristics of the nitride-based spin-polarized LEDs with room-temperature ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)N layer as a spin injection source. The (Ga,Mn)N thin films having room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering were found to exhibit the negative MR and anomalous Hall resistance up to room temperature, revealing the existence of spin-polarized electrons in (Ga,Mn)N films at room temperature. The electrical characteristics in the spin LEDs did not degraded in spite of the insertion of the (Ga,Mn)N layer into the LED structure. In EL spectra of the spin LEDs, it is confirmed that the devices produce intense EL emission at 7 K as well as room temperature. These results are expected to open up new opportunities to realize room-temperature operating semiconductor spintronic devices.

  • Nitrogen vacancy center (NV center) in diamond has recently been appeared as a promising candidate for hyperpolarization applications due to its optical pumping property by laser. Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) has been used as a conventional method to obtain the resonance spectrum of NV centers. ODMR, however, has a shortcoming of sensitivity and a limitation of subjects, such that the degree of hyperpolarization can hardly be estimated, and that the spins other than NV centers are invisible. In contrast, Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is known to proportionally reflect the degree of spin polarization. In this work, we successfully observed the optically-induced hyperpolarization of NV spins in diamond through CW-ESR spectroscopy with an X-band system. All the NV peaks were identified by calculating the eigenvalues of NV spin Hamiltonian. The intensities of NV peaks were enhanced over 240 times after optical pumping. The enhanced peaks corresponding to the transition from |ms=0> to |ms=-1> revealed inverted phases, while other peaks remained in-phase. The optically-induced hyperpolarization on NV spins can be a useful polarization source, leading to 13C nuclear hyperpolarization in diamond.

  • 최근 들어 나노스케일에서의 자구체(magnetic domain)에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 현재 국내에서 자성 나노구조에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행 되고 있는 반면에 나노자성이미지를 연구 할 수 있는 장비는 매우 미비한 상황이다. 이러한 자성 이미징을 연구하는데 있어 가장 핵심 적인 장비가 SEMPA(Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis)이다. 국내에서 자성나노구조의 자화와 형상을 동시에 측정 할 수 있는 장비는 한국표준과학연구원에서 개발된 W-filament source를 사용한 SEMPA가 유일하다. 일반적으로 SEM의 경우 고에너지 빔의 전자 빔을 주사 시키고 이때 발생되는 이차 전자의 수를 2차원상의 영역에 따라 달라지는 비로 형상을 측정 하게 된다. 이때 전자의 수 뿐만 아니라 이들의 spin polarization을 측정 할 수 있다면 형상뿐 만 아니라 표면에서의 스핀 상태를 동시에 측정할 수 있게 된다. 기개발된 W-filament source를 이용한 SEMPA는 field emission source에 비하여 전자빔의 세기가 약하며 이차 전자의 수도 적어 spin polarization 감도가 현저히 떨어진다. 또한 초고진공(1x10-10torr)에서 사용할 수 없어 측정시료의 contamination을 방지 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 보안하기 위하여 field emission source를 이용한 FE-SEMPA를 개발 중이다. 본 연구에서는 설계 및 전산시늉등의 연구결과와 진행사항을 발표하고자 한다. 아울러 W-filament를 사용한 SEMPA의 연구결과에 대한 논의를 할 예정이다.
