Room Temperature Ferromagnetism in Cobalt Doped ZnO Nanoparticles

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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 samples were performed using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV and photoluminescence (PL) studies. The X-ray diffraction patterns obtained showed formation of wurtzite ZnO structure with no secondary Co phases. The EDS measurements were employed to investigate the composition of the samples and showed the presence of Zn and cobalt elements detected. The optical absorption spectra showed internal d-d transitions related to Co2+ incorporated on the Zn lattice site of ZnO structure. The red-shift of the band-gap edge has been attributed to a merging of donor and conduction bands due to the Co doping. The magnetic behavior of prepared cobalt doped samples was finally investigated at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that, the Co doped ZnO. Nanoparticles with 2at% CoO is ferromacnetic at RT. This magnetic property is greatly suppressed and replaced by a paramagnetism behavior at higher doping levels.

Room-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...

Room-temperature ferromagnetism in doped face-centered cubic fe nanoparticles.

The magnetism of Fe and its alloys has been at the center of scientific and technological interest for decades. Along with the ferromagnetic nature of body-centered cubic Fe, the magnetic properties of face-centered cubic (fcc) Fe have attracted much attention. It is well known that fcc Fe is thermodynamically unstable at ambient conditions and not ferromagnetic. Contrary to what is known, we r...

Room-temperature ferromagnetism of Cu-doped ZnO films probed by soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

We report direct evidence of room-temperature ferromagnetic ordering in O-deficient ZnO:Cu films by using soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray absorption. Our measurements have revealed unambiguously two distinct features of Cu atoms associated with (i) magnetically ordered Cu ions present only in the oxygen-deficient samples and (ii) magnetically disordered regular Cu2+ ions presen...
