Objective: The influence of Manganese (Mn2+) and Cobalt (Co2+) ions doping on the optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanoparticles was studied. Methods: Nanoparticle samples of type ZnO, Zn0.97Mn0.03O, Zn0.96Mn0.03Co0.01O, Zn0.95Mn0.03 Co0.02O, Zn0.93Mn0.03Co0.04O, and Zn0.91Mn0.03Co0.06O were synthesized using the wet chemical coprecipitation method. Results: X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the prepared samples exhibited a single phase of hexagonal wurtzite structure without any existence of secondary phases. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images clarified that Co doping at high concentrations has the ability to alter the morphologies of the samples from spherical shaped nanoparticles (NPS) to nanorods (NRs) shaped particles. The different vibrational modes of the prepared samples were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The optical characteristics and structural defects of the samples were studied through Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. PL results clarified that Mn2+ and Co2+ doping quenched the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enhanced the number of point defects relative to the undoped ZnO sample. Magnetic measurements were carried out at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO samples exhibited a ferromagnetic behavior coupled with paramagnetic and weak diamagnetic contributions. Conclusion: Mn2+ and Co2+ doping enhanced the room temperature Ferromagnetic (RTFM) behavior of ZnO. In addition, the signature for antiferromagnetic ordering between the Co ions was revealed. Moreover, a strong correlation between the magnetic and optical behavior of the (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO was analyzed.

The emergence of Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors (DMS) with a potentials for spintronic application have attracted much researches attention, special consideration has been given to ZnO semiconductor material due to its wide band gap of 3.37 eV, large exciting binding energy of 60 meV, moreover, its ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature when doped with transition metals. MxZn1-xO (M = Fe or Ni) nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave assisted synthesis method calcined at 600°C. The structural, morphological and magnetic properties of these nanoparticles were studied using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) respectively. Single phase Wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure was observed for the undoped and Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles with no any impurity, whereas Ni doped ZnO nanoparticles shows the formation of NiO impurities. The magnetic measurement reveals a diamagnetic behavior for the undoped ZnO meanwhile a clear room temperature ferromagnetism was observed for both Fe and Ni doped ZnO. Fe doped ZnO present a high saturation magnetization compared to Ni doped ZnO. However, Ni doped ZnO present high coercivity. The research was confirmed that Fe doped ZnO material will be good material combination for spintronic applications.

The Mn, Al co-doped ZnO samples were synthesized using solid-state reaction method and were annealed in furnace at 300 °C, 600 °C and 900°C temperature. All the samples prepared were investigated in detail for analysis of their structural, morphological, optical, magnetic and electrical behavior. The XRD data confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of pristine, Mn doped and Al, Mn co-doped ZnO. For morphological investigation SEM and TEM techniques were employed. The PL properties of the ZnO:Mn, Al sample revealed emission in the blue region (415–438 nm). Furthermore, IV studies were carried out to examine the conductivity of the ZnO:Mn, Al samples and maximum conductivity was found in the sample with 5% Al doping and annealing temperature 600 °C. The magnetic measurements revealed room temperature ferromagnetic behavior in the optimized ZnO:Mn, Al sample annealed at 600 °C which indicates its suitability for Magneto-Opto Electronic Applications.

AbstractIn the present study pure and doped gallium nitride (GaN) nanocrystals were synthesized using gallium trichloride (GaCl3), ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and cobalt chloride as raw materials at a temperature of 900 °C in ammonia (NH3) atmosphere. The XRD spectrum for pure and cobalt doped GaN nanocrystals shows the formation of single phase wurtzite structure. No impurity phases were observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern for 5% Co doped sample whereas secondary phases were observed when the doping concentration exceeds 5 %. Shift in X-ray diffraction peaks were observed in Co doped samples towards lower angle side compared to pure GaN, it confirms that the Co atoms introduces in to the GaN lattice. Transmission electron microscopy images were taken for pure and Co doped GaN. Hexagonal morphology was observed in pure GaN samples. The average size of the particle was found to be ˜20 nm for pure and Co doped GaN. The magnetic measurements were carried out for the Co (5% & 10%) doped samples both at 10K and 300K. Clear hysteresis loop in the magnetization curve suggest the presence of ferromagnetic behavior in cobalt doped GaN. Temperature dependent magnetization (M-T) measurements were also carried out for doped samples using Super Conducting Quantum Interface Device (SQUID) from 10K to 300K The results have been discussed and correlated to structural and magnetic properties of the materials.

Co -doped ZnO rod arrays were fabricated on zinc foils by a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the samples have wurtzite crystalline structure without metallic Co or other secondary phases detected. The nanorod arrays exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior for different Co concentration. The influence of Co on the magnetic properties of ZnO was studied by the first-principles calculations. The exchange interaction between local spin-polarized electrons and conductive electrons is proposed as a cause of the room-temperature ferromagnetism.

Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were fabricated by an electrodeposition method. The XPS results show Co ions have doped into the ZnO crystal lattices successfully. The as-grown sample has no ferromagnetism at room temperature. But after an ammine plasma treatment the room temperature ferromagnetism were detected on Co0.04Zn0.96O nanoparticles. The Hall measurement reveals after the treatment the resistivity increase by three orders of magnitude. Although the aspect conductivity is n type, some holes generated by N doping play an important role to induce the ferromagnetic properties for Co doped ZnO sample.
