Properties and Curie Temperature (130 K) of Heavily Mn-doped Quaternary Alloy Ferromagnetic Semiconductor (InGaMn)As Grown on InP

We have studied magnetic properties of heavily Mn-doped [(In0.44Ga0.56)0.79Mn0.21]As thin films grown by low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy (LT-MBE) on InP substrates. The (InGaMn)As with high Mn content (21%) was obtained by decreasing the growth temperature to 190 degC. When the thickness of the [(In0.44Ga0.56)0.79Mn0.21]As layer is equal or thinner than 10 nm, the reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show no MnAs clustering, indicating that a homogeneous single crystal with good quality was grown. In the magnetic circular dicroism (MCD) measurement, large MCD intensity and high Curie temperature of 130 K were observed.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figure

Therapeutic drug monitoring in peritoneal dialysis: A case of nontuberculous mycobacterium catheter‐related infection treated with amikacin

The pharmacokinetics of amikacin makes it difficult to predict the appropriate dosing to avoid harmful side effects in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The implementation of therapeutic drug monitoring may be useful in controlling amikacin serum concentrations in patients receiving CAPD
