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.

Este estudio reporta una síntesis fácil, libre de surfactantes y asistida por microondas para la producción de nanopartículas de óxido de zinc (ZnO). Se investigó el efecto del valor del pH sobre las propiedades químicas, ópticas, morfológicas y fotocatalíticas de las nanopartículas de ZnO. Las nanopartículas se caracterizaron mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), espectroscopía infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), espectroscopía de rayos X por dispersión de energía (EDS) y espectroscopía UV-visible (UV-Vis). El análisis SEM muestra que el tamaño de las partículas disminuye con el aumento del valor de pH. Los espectros UV-Vis muestran picos de absorción excitónica alrededor de 334-359 nm. Se encontró que la brecha de energía de las muestras disminuye con el aumento del valor de pH. Finalmente, se evaluó la eficiencia fotocatalítica de los nanomateriales de ZnO mediante la degradación de naranja de metileno (MO) bajo irradiación de luz UV-A y se logró una eficiencia de degradación del colorante del 93.04% para la muestra de ZnO con pH-13. Los resultados experimentales confirman que la ruta propuesta para producir ZnO es fácil, reproducible y amigable con el medio ambiente. Además, el nano ZnO tiene un gran potencial como fotocatalizador para eliminar compuestos orgánicos.
