研究目的
Investigating the ferromagnetic behavior and electronic characterization of Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles encapsulated with amorphous SiO2, prepared by the wet chemical method, and understanding the mechanism behind their ferromagnetism.
研究成果
Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior due to carriers and oxygen vacancies. The maximum magnetization value increases with the amount of Al doping, suggesting a correlation between electrical conductivity and magnetization.
研究不足
The mechanism of ferromagnetism in Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles is not completely understood. The study is limited by the theoretical models available to explain the observed phenomena.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles encapsulated with SiO2 were prepared by the wet chemical method. The precursors were annealed under an Ar atmosphere, with particle sizes controlled by adjusting the annealing temperature.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared with mole ratios of Zn : Al : Si = 1 - x : x : 0.1 (x = 0.03 and 0.10).
3:1 (x = 03 and 10).
