    Figures & Tables(6)
    (Color online) (a) Schematic layer structure of Ga1-x-yFexNiySb samples. (b) The RHEED pattern of an undoped GaSb sample. (c)−(f) RHEED patterns taken along the [110] azimuth after the growth of Ga1-x-yFexNiySb layers for samples B1−B4 (x ≈ 24%, y = 1.7%−6.1%).
    (Color online) (a) XRD spectra of Ga1-x-yFexNiySb samples A1−A4 (x = 25.2%−29.8%, y = 0). (b) XRD spectra of samples B1−B4 (x ≈ 24%, y = 1.7%−6.1%). (c) x dependence of the lattice constant of A1−A4. (d) y dependence of the lattice constant of B1−B4.
    (Color online) (a) The cross-sectional STEM image of typical Ga1-x-yFexNiySb sample B4 (x = 24.3%, y = 6.1%). (b) SAED pattern of the Ga1-x-yFexNiySb layers in sample B4. (c) The area marked by red rectangles shown in Fig. 3(a).
    (Color online) Magnetic hysteresis curves (M−H) measured at 10 K of samples B1−B4 (x ≈ 24%, y = 1.7%−6.1%) with a magnetic field applied along the [001] axis and the [110] axis. The blue and red arrows in (a)−(d) signify the perpendicular saturation magnetic fields and the positions of HS.
    (Color online) The magnetic field dependence of Hall resistance curves (RHall−H) of the samples B1−B4 (x ≈ 24%, y = 1.7%−6.1%) measured at 10 K.
