AbstractWe report on magnetic properties of the GaN layers implanted with 3d transition metal ions. GaN layers grown by MOVPE on sapphire substrates, p- or n-doped, were implanted by Mn, Cr or V ions with a dose of 5×1016 cm−2 and implantation energy of 200 keV. Subsequently, a rapid thermal annealing in nitrogen atmosphere for 5 minutes at different temperatures (700°C – 1050°C) was performed. The magnetization as a function of magnetic field as well as the dependence on temperature revealed paramagnetic behavior for all samples. In addition, an antiferromagnetic coupling between implanted ions was found.
