Anisotropic ferromagnetism in substituted zinc oxide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Room-temperature ferromagnetism is observed in (110) oriented ZnO films made from targets containing 5 at. % of Sc, Ti, V, Fe, Co, or Ni, but not Cr, Mn, or Cu ions. There are large moments, 2.6 micro(B) and 0.5 micro(B)/dopant atom for Co- and Ti-containing oxides, respectively. There is also a moment of 0.3 micro(B)/Sc. Magnetization is very anisotropic, with variations of up to a factor of 3 depending on the orientation of the applied field relative to the substrate. Results are interpreted in terms of a spin-split donor impurity-band model, which can account for ferromagnetism in insulating or conducting high-k oxides with concentrations of magnetic ions that lie far below the percolation threshold. Magnetic moments are associated with two-electron defects in the films as well as unpaired electrons of the 3d ions.

Direct kinetic correlation of carriers and ferromagnetism in Co2+: ZnO.
The hypothesis that high-Curie-temperature ferromagnetism in cobalt-doped ZnO (Co2+: ZnO) is mediated by charge carriers was tested by controlled introduction and removal of the shallow donor interstitial zinc. Using oriented epitaxial Co2+: ZnO films grown by chemical vapor deposition, kinetics measurements demonstrate a direct correlation between the oxidative quenching of ferromagnetism and ...

متن کاملTheoretical description of carrier mediated magnetism in cobalt doped ZnO.
Substitutional cobalt in ZnO has a weak preference for antiferromagnetic ordering. Stabilization of ferromagnetism is achieved through n-type doping, which can be understood through a band coupling model. However, the description of the transition to a ferromagnetic ground state varies within different levels of band theory; issues arise due to the density functional theory underestimation of t...
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...
