Abstract

We report the fabrication of Ge:Mn ferromagnetic semiconductors by Mn-ion implantation into Ge followed by
pulsed laser annealing. The implanted Ge layer was recrystallized during annealing. We observed that the longitudinal and
Hall resistances exhibit the same hysteresis as the magnetization, which is usually considered as a sign of carrier-mediated
ferromagnetism.
