摘要
Fe/（Ga,Mn）As heterostructures were fabricated by all molecular-beam epitaxy.Double-crystal X-ray diffraction and high-resolution cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs show that the Fe layer has a well ordered crystal orientation and an abrupt interface.The different magnetic behavior between the Fe layer and（Ga, Mn）As layer is observed by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate no Fe_2As and Fe-Ga-As compounds,i.e.,no dead magnetic layer at the interface, which strongly affects the magnetic proximity and the polarization of the Mn ion in a thin（Ga,Mn）As region near the interface of the Fe/（Ga,Mn）As heterostructure.
