We studied the optical and magnetic properties in epitaxial AlN/GdN/AlN double heterostructures grown using reactive sputtering under ultrapure conditions. The indirect and direct optical transitions in a 95-nm-thick GdN film were found to be 0.95 and 1.18 eV, respectively. The considerable size effects of the optical band gap were observed with a decrease in the GdN thickness. The AlN/GdN/AlN double heterostructures clearly exhibited ferromagnetic states at low temperature. The short-range correlation of spins began to develop below similar to 60 K, and long-range ordering that obeyed the Arrott relation was confirmed below similar to 30 K. Because of the film-size independence for the ferromagnetic ordering, the cooperative correlation length in GdN was considered to be shorter than 30 nm. Furthermore, we found that the band gap is dramatically reduced with the ferromagnetic spin ordering.
