Interface double-exchange ferromagnetism in the Mn-Zn-O system: new class of biphase magnetism.
In this Letter, we experimentally show that the room temperature ferromagnetism in the Mn-Zn-O system recently observed is associated with the coexistence of Mn(3+) and Mn(4+) via a double-exchange mechanism. The presence of the ZnO around MnO(2) modifies the kinetics of MnO(2)-->Mn(2)O(3) reduction and favors the coexistence of both Mn oxidation states. The ferromagnetic phase is associated wi...
متن کاملOn the origin of high-temperature ferromagnetism in the low-temperature-processed Mn-Zn-O system.
The recent discovery of ferromagnetism above room temperature in low-temperature-processed MnO(2)-ZnO has generated significant interest. Using suitably designed bulk and thin-film studies, we demonstrate that the ferromagnetism in this system originates in a metastable phase rather than by carrier-induced interaction between separated Mn atoms in ZnO. The ferromagnetism persists up to approxim...
متن کاملAdvances in wide bandgap materials for semiconductor spintronics
Existing semiconductor electronic and photonic devices utilize the charge on electrons and holes in order to perform their specific functionality such as signal processing or light emission. The relatively new field of semiconductor spintronics seeks, in addition, to exploit the spin of charge carriers in new generations of transistors, lasers and integrated magnetic sensors. The ability to con...
متن کاملRoom-temperature ferromagnetism in carbon-doped ZnO.
We report ferromagnetism in carbon-doped ZnO. Our first-principles calculations based on density functional theory predicted a magnetic moment of 2.02 mu(B) per carbon when carbon substitutes oxygen in ZnO, and an ferromagnetic coupling among magnetic moments of the carbon dopants. The theoretical prediction was confirmed experimentally. C-doped ZnO films deposited by pulsed-laser deposition sh...
متن کاملRoom Temperature Ferromagnetism in Cobalt Doped ZnO Nanoparticles
In this work we report synthesis and magnetic characterization of cobalt doped ZnO nanoparticles (with different percent of doped cobalt oxide). Synthesis of the materials was carried out at room temperature by polyacrylamide-gel method, using zink sulfate and cobalt nitrate as source materials, acrylamide as monomer and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide as a lattice reagent. Characterization of the ...
