The growth of magnetic semiconductors with Curie temperature above room temperature is one of the major challenges of spintronics. In this manuscript, we describe our results on MBE grown Ge:Mn layers. We first investigate structural properties with transmission electron microscopy, electron and X-ray diffraction and EXAFS spectroscopy. We have observed that Mn segregation in GeMn thin films results in the formation of Mn-rich phases. For low growth temperature (~100°C), a spinodal decomposition occurs which leads to the growth of Mn-rich nanocolumns embedded in a germanium matrix. For temperature higher than 200°C, Ge3Mn5 clusters were evidenced. The magnetic properties of these phases were also studied. Superparamagnetism was observed in ...
