RESUMEN
Electric field-controlled ferromagnetism of (Zn,Co)O is demonstrated via anomalous Hall effect measurements. The electron carrier concentration in this material is 1.65x10(20) cm(-3) as measured via ordinary Hall effect at 4 K, and an anomalous Hall effect is observed up to 6 K, but with no hysteresis at any temperature. With positive electric gate field, the carrier concentration is increased by approximately 2%, resulting in a clear magnetic hysteresis at 4 K. The ability to reversibly induceeliminate ferromagnetism by applied gate field alone, measured via the effect on the carriers, is a clear sign of carrier-induced ferromagnetism in this system.
RESUMEN
Measurements of the complex frequency dependent conductivity of uncompensated n-type silicon are reported. The experiments are done in the quantum limit, variant Planck's over 2pi omega>k(B)T, across a broad doping range on the insulating side of the metal-insulator transition. The low energy linear frequency dependence is consistent with theories of a Coulomb glass, but discrepancies exist in the relative magnitudes of the complex components. At higher energies we observe a crossover to a quadratic frequency dependence that is sharper than expected. The concentration dependence gives evidence that the Coulomb interaction energy is the energy scale that determines this crossover.
RESUMEN
We have conducted temperature and frequency dependent transport measurements in amorphous NbxSi1-x samples in the insulating regime. We find a temperature dependent dc conductivity consistent with variable range hopping in a Coulomb glass. The frequency dependent response in the millimeter-wave frequency range can be described by the expression sigma(omega) varies with (-iota omega)(alpha) with the exponent somewhat smaller than 1. Our ac results are not consistent with extant theories for the hopping transport.
