A Nanotechnology Research Recorded for Dr. Bassam Qadi in Tokyo Japan

A joint research with a group of Japanese scholars from Tokyo Institute of Technology has been recorded for the Associate Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie Dr. Bassam Qadi; a research has been published by the American Institute of Physics in the Journal of Applied Physics.
Prof Qadi explained that his research focused on studying the optical and magnetic properties of the Ferromagnetic Semiconductors particularly GaMnAs which is readily compatible Semiconductor through adding specified percentages of manganese to one of the foremost used Ferromagnetic Semiconductors i.e. GaAs.
He also stated that this new compound has unique and promising features that may be used in possible applications known as Spintronic Devices particularly in Storage Devices which will dramatically change the form of data storage in the future throughout increasing the memory size and that will give a deep understanding to a lot of the physical, optical and magnetic properties of the most important compounds which may be used basically known as Spintronics and its future inspiring applications.
He added that the Japanese researchers prepared different samples of GaMnAs semiconductor with a thickness of 100 nanometers in Tokyo Institute’s labs using a technology known as Molecular Beam Epitaxy MBE where the physical, optical and magnetic properties were measured by high accurate devices.
Prof Qadi referred to the importance of the research lying in the fact that it explores an innovative way to study the magnetic dynamics of these semiconductors as well as the Magnetic reflection phenomena. This methodology is based on the magnetic - optical effect called Magnetic Birefringence, which links the refractive index of the substance to the light and the polarized light.
