• Outlook
What are perovskites?

Perovskites are metal oxides of the form ABO3


A forms a simple cubic lattice
B forms a simple cubic lattice
A and B together form a bcc lattice
O occupies the faces of the cube

Best studied
perovskite: SrTiO3

Perovskites are ionic compounds:e.g. Sr2+Ti4+O23


Perovskites and doping
• Perovskites (SrTiO3, CaTiO3, BaTiO3, KTaO3, ...) are
multifunctional materials...

• ...whose electrical, magnetic and optical properties can


be drastically changed by doping

• Many possible applications of perovskites rely on doping


these materials.
SrTiO3: great variety of possible dopants

• Possible electrical dopants But little is known about ion


implantation doping:
• Some magnetic dopants
lattice sites ?
• Some optical dopants damage annealing ?
Motivation: ion implantation in perovskites

Amorphization threshold temperature [K]

Trecrystallization
In short:
• perovskites are hard to amorphize and...
• ...recrystallize at moderate temperatures
 should be attractive systems for ion
implantation
Major objectives of this project:
• investigate basic possibilities for ion implantation doping
of perovskite oxides and related materials in order to
modify their optical, magnetic and electrical properties
• implantation of magnetic impurities such as Fe or Mn,
optically active dopants such as rare earth elements, and
prospective electrically active donor and acceptor
impurities
• study lattice location of impurities and annealing of
implantation damage using nuclear techniques
• complementary characterization of optical, magnetic and
electrical properties for certain implanted impurities
Secondary objectives:
• promoting the use of nuclear techniques in the production
and characterization of novel materials in the
technologically relevant fields of microelectronics,
optoelectronics and spintronics
• transfer of know-how in the application of nuclear
techniques to the other participants of the Coordinated
Research Project
• training and formation of PhD and undergraduate students
on a national level in materials science and in the
application of nuclear techniques
Work plan:
• Year 1 (2005-06): lattice location and damage
annealing studies in SrTiO3, first measurements of
optical and magnetic properties
• Year 2 (2006-07): lattice location and damage
annealing studies extended to other perovskites,
e.g. KTaO3, measurements of optical and magnetic
properties under optimized conditions (dose,
annealing…)
• Year 3 (2007-08): set priorities for the study of
those systems where, according to outcome of
research in years 1+2, best results were obtained
Foreseen methods of study
• stable and radioactive ion implantation

• nuclear methods using radioactive isotopes


- Emission Channeling (EC) lattice location
- Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC)
- Photoluminescence (PL)

• Rutherford Backscattering / Channeling (RBS/C)


• conventional Photoluminescence (PL)
• macroscopic magnetic moments by means of SQUID

...work in progress, presentation includes several


experiments that are not yet fully analyzed!

annealing temperature TA [°C]

 as was expected, 89Sr (60 keV, 81014 cm2) occupies mainly Sr sites
 broad damage recovery stage 2001000°C
 annealing probably not yet finished at 1000°C
 information on rms displacement of Sr atoms as function of TA could not be
derived (problem of angular resolution, mosaicity of implanted sample!)
Annealing of radiation damage: PL

• Sample implanted with 89Sr at a dose of ~1014 cm2


• PL with 325nm excitation (above band edge 387 nm = 3.2 eV ) measured
at 1.6 K as function of TA
 near-band edge luminescence restored only for TA>800°C
Motivation: SrTiO3 in the focus as...

... dilute magnetic


semiconductor
(room-temperature
ferromagnetism?)
Fe in SrTiO3
• As 3d transition metal element, Fe is a candidate for
magnetic doping of SrTiO3 (cf Mn)

• which lattice site does Fe occupy following ion


implantation?

 study by means of  emission channeling using the


radioactive isotope 59Fe (t1/2=44 d)
low dose implantations (60 keV, 51012  11013 cm2)

• What are the magnetic properties of Fe-implanted SrTiO3?

 study by means of SQUID


high dose implantations (60 keV, 1015  1016 cm2)

Yb lattice sites in SrTiO3 as function of TA

 no octahedral interstitial I8 sites (in contrast to TMs Fe, Cu, Ag)


 also broad recovery stage of damage 300-900°C,
 Yb is also amphoteric (found on both Sr and Ti sites)
 Yb prefers Ti sites
Overview: SrTiO3 emission channeling
lattice location experiments

• Electrical dopants  Emission channeling lattice location


• Magnetic dopants experiments undertaken so far
Experiments foreseen or possible
• Optical dopants Experiments attempted
Conclusions
 SrTiO3 relatively resistant against implantation
damage
 damage annealing starts above 200-300°C...
• but is only complete at ~1000-1100°C
 annealing is less efficient than expected
• lattice location experiments in SrTiO 3 difficult to
analyze:
– Cu, Ag, Yb are amphoteric impurities: multiple sites
– Fe also shows site distribution: <100> diplaced Ti + Ti
 generally doping is complicated by amphoteric
nature
• Ag more promising Sr-site acceptor than Cu,
• Fe was shown to act as ferromagnetic dopant
Performance against original work plan:

 Year 1 (2005-06): lattice location and damage


annealing studies in SrTiO3, first measurements of
optical and magnetic properties
• Year 2 (2006-07): lattice location and damage
annealing studies extended to other perovskites,
e.g. KTaO3 (samples have now been bought), measurements
of optical and magnetic properties under
optimized conditions (dose, annealing…) 
• Year 3 (2007-08): set priorities for the study of
those systems where, according to outcome of
research in years 1+2, best results were obtained
