研究目的
Investigating the ferromagnetic behavior, electronic states, and local geometrical structure of Ni-doped SnO2 thin films to understand the correlation between ferromagnetism and structural defects induced by doping and growth conditions.
研究成果
Ni-doped SnO2 thin films exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism primarily due to oxygen vacancies induced by doping and UHV growth conditions, with surface defects playing a critical role. The magnetic behavior is not significantly affected by Ni concentration changes, suggesting defect-mediated mechanisms like bound magnetic polarons or charge transfer ferromagnetism.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific Ni doping concentrations (2% and 10%) and UHV growth conditions; the ferromagnetic behavior may not generalize to other doping levels or growth environments. The role of surface defects versus bulk defects in magnetism requires further investigation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to fabricate Ni-doped SnO2 thin films on Si substrates under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. Techniques included XRD for structural analysis, FE-SEM for morphology, NEXAFS and XANES for electronic and local structure, and magnetization measurements for magnetic properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Thin films with 2% and 10% Ni doping concentrations were prepared. Data were sourced from experimental measurements using the specified equipment.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
KrF laser for PLD, Si substrates, X-ray diffractometer, FE-SEM, NEXAFS beamline, DC magnetometer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were deposited at 400°C, cooled to room temperature, and characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, NEXAFS, XANES, and magnetization measurements. Data analysis involved fitting with FEFF6 code and Artemis software.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Structural parameters were extracted from EXAFS spectra using FEFF6 and Artemis; magnetization data were fitted using a model combining ferromagnetic and paramagnetic components.
