The source of room temperature ferromagnetism in granular GaMnAs layers with zinc blende clusters
Granular GaAs:(Mn,Ga) As films were prepared by annealing the Ga0.985Mn0.015As/GaAs layers at 500 degrees C or 600 degrees C. It is commonly accepted that this processing should result in the formation of cubic or hexagonal MnAs clusters, respectively. We demonstrate that such a priori assumption is not justified. If in the as grown sample there are not many defects with the interstitial Mn atoms,
