Abstract
Nanocrystalline MnAs magnetic clusters are formed controllably in GaAs by annealing Molecular Beam Epitaxial grown Ga1-xMnxAs (0.03 < x < 0. 15). Magnetic and structural properties (cluster size, epitaxial regis try) are addressed. The semiconductor matrix is defect free, and excel lent control in cluster location is demonstrated. Semiconductor layers grown on top of a heterogeneous GaAs/MnAs clustered buffer show good optical properties.
