研究目的
Investigating the possibility of introducing long range ferromagnetism by doping transition metal in wide band gap semiconducting ZnO.
研究成果
The study concludes that while ferromagnetic correlations are observed at room temperature, no true long range ferromagnetic transition was observed down to 5K. The formation of BMPs and their antiferromagnetic correlation due to superexchange interaction in the ZnO matrix prevents the emergence of long range ferromagnetism.
研究不足
The study indicates difficulties in achieving long range ferromagnetism due to the formation of bound magnetic polarons (BMPs) at low temperatures, which get antiferromagnetically correlated. The intrinsic presence of n-type donors and defects in ZnO complicates the reproducibility of results.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the preparation of transition metal (TM = Fe or Cu) doped ZnO and co-doped (Cu, Fe) ZnO nanoparticles using the sol-gel method. The magnetic properties of these samples were systematically studied.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared with varying concentrations of TM ions (x = 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05) and characterized using XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, UV-VIS, and PL techniques.
