CdS nanoparticles and thin films are well known for their excellent semiconducting properties. When transition metal ions are doped into the CdS, it exhibits magnetic properties in addition to semiconducting properties and they are termed as dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). In this paper, we discuss the preparation of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT) capped CdS nanoparticles and thin films doped with magnetic impurity Mn. Sodium bis(2-ethulexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT), capping agent promotes the uniform formation of nanoparticles. Optical characterizations are made using the UV-Vis spectrometer, PL, and FTIR. XRD shows the hexagonal structure of the CdS. SEM images and EDS measurements were made for the thin films. EPR shows the clear hyperfine lines corresponding to Mn2+ion in the CdS nanoparticles.

Wide-bandgap dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS), such as transition-metal doped ZnO and GaN , have gained attention for use in spintronic devices because of predictions and experimental reports of room temperature ferromagnetism which may enable their use in spintronic devices. However, there has been some debate over the source of ferromagnetism in these materials. This paper focuses on the high quality growth of wide bandgap DMS, and the characterization of Zn 1-x Mn x O produced by melt-growth techniques and Ga 1-x Mn x N grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). High resolution X-ray diffraction results revealed no second phases in either the ZnO crystals or the GaN films. Undoped as-grown, bulk crystals of Zn 1-x Mn x O and Zn 1-x Co x O crystals are shown to be paramagnetic at all temperatures. In contrast, the Ga 1-x Mn x N films showed ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature under optimum growth conditions. Experimental identification of the Mn ion charge state and the presence of bands in the bandgap of GaN are investigated by optical spectroscopy and electron spin paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It is shown that the broadening of states in the Mn 3d shell scaled with Mn concentration, and that optical transitions due to this band correlated with the strong ferromagnetism in these samples. However, this band disappeared with an increase in free electron concentration provided by either annealing or doping. Raman studies of Ga 1-x Mn x N revealed two predominant Mn -related modes featured with increasing concentration, a broad disorder related structure at 300cm-1 and a sharper peak at 669cm-1 This works show that the development of practical ferromagnetic wide bandgap DMS materials for spintronic applications will require both the lattice site introduction of Mn as well as careful control of the background defect concentration to optimize these materials.

One of the most attractive characteristics of diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors is the possibility to modulate their electronic and ferromagnetic properties, coupled by itinerant holes through various means. A prominent example is the modification of Curie temperature and magnetic anisotropy by ion implantation and pulsed laser melting in III–V diluted magnetic semiconductors. In this study, to the best of our knowledge, we performed, for the first time, the co-doping of (In,Mn)As diluted magnetic semiconductors by Al by co-implantation subsequently combined with a pulsed laser annealing technique. Additionally, the structural and magnetic properties were systematically investigated by gradually raising the Al implantation fluence. Unexpectedly, under a well-preserved epitaxial structure, all samples presented weaken Curie temperature, magnetization, as well as uniaxial magnetic anisotropies when more aluminum was involved. Such a phenomenon is probably due to enhanced carrier localization introduced by Al or the suppression of substitutional Mn atoms.
