We report on successful growth of epitaxial high Curie-temperature Ge1−x Mnx quantum dots on Si (001) substrates using the self-assembled approach. By decreasing the growth temperature down to 400 ˚C, we show that the Mn diffusion into the Si substrate can be neglected. No indication of secondary phases or clusters was observed. Ge1−x Mnx quantum dots were found to be epitaxial and perfectly coherent to the Si substrate. We also evidence that the ferromagnetic ordering in Ge1−x Mnx quantum dots persists up to a temperature higher 320 K. It is believed that single-crystalline quantum dots exhibiting a high Curie temperature are potential candidates for the realization of nanoscale spintronic devices.

INTRODUCTION As the device miniaturization reaches technological and physical limits, adding the spin degree of freedom to the electron into conventional electronics appears as a promising solution for the development of a new generation of devices [1]. The development of such spin-based devices requires an efficient injection of spin-polarized currents from ferromagnetic materials into conventional semiconductors. Research dealing with group-IV semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, represents a particular interest since it allows integrating spintronic devices into the existing Si technology. Germanium, thanks to its small band gap and its high mobility, is .
