アブストラクト: X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) is used to probe local structures of condensed matters, and provides the quantitative local structural information around an element species in a complex material. The general performance of U7C-XAFS station of National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) will be introduced in detail. The XAFS studies on GaN- and ZnO-based dilute magnetic semiconductors show the occupation sites of Mn and Co atoms in a variety of GaN- and ZnO-based DMS materials prepared by different methods such as MBE, CVD, PLD and sol-gel method. It indicates that at low doping concentrations, the dopants Mn and Co are substitutionally incorporated into the host lattice; at higher Mn and Co doping concentrations, the metal clusters and secondary phases are formed. The structural results are well correlated with the observed magnetic properties and are helpful for understanding the complicated nature of the magnetic interactions in DMSs. The studies on the self-assembled GeSi quantum dots (QDs) grown on Si(001) substrate by multiple-scattering (MS) EXAFS reveal that the degree of Ge-Si intermixing for Ge-Si QDs strongly depends on the temperature. The compressively strained nature of the QDs is discussed in detail, demonstrating that the MS-EXAFS provides detailed information on the QDs strain and the Ge-Si mixing beyond the nearest neighbors.
