: Anatase (TiO2) nanoparticles co-doped with Ni/Al ions were synthesized by a thermo-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by using X‐Ray diffraction and optical absorption spectroscopy. The structural/optical investigations established the development of substitutional solid solutions: TiO2:Ni:Al. The magnetization investigations were performed to study the generated stable ferromagnetic properties of the samples due to the Ni2+ doping. To boost the created ferromagnetic properties, Al ions co-dopings were employed to supply/densify the itinerant electrons. It was planned to decide the suitable hydrogenation conditions and temperature (TH), which are necessary to create appreciable strength of ferromagnetic properties in the host co-doped samples based on TiO2 for practical uses. The results established that the ferromagnetic energy (Umag) was increased by ~240% and the saturation magnetization by ~140% with increasing of TH from 400 oC to 500oC. The obtained Msat was higher by ~50 times than that previously attained for Ni-doped TiO2. Such novel results were discussed and explained through the spin-spin Heisenberg interactions.

In this paper, we have investigated the electronic structure and magnetic properties of K and Mn co-doped BaCd 2 As 2 using density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation ( GGA ) + U schemes. Calculations show that the ground state magnetic structure of Mn -doped BaCd 2 As 2 is antiferromagnetic while K and Mn co-doped BaCd 2 As 2 is ferromagnetic. Electronic structures indicate that the superexchange mechanism leads to the antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn atoms in Mn -doped BaCd 2 As 2 while the hole-mediated Zener's p–d exchange mechanism leads to the ferromagnetic coupling between Mn atoms in K and Mn co-doped BaCd 2 As 2.

AbstractThin films of Co-doped In2O3 diluted magnetic semiconductor have been grown on c-plane sapphire single crystals using pulsed laser deposition technique. Different characterizations such as x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and magneto-transport have been carried out to study the effect of growth temperature on structural, electrical, and magneto-transport properties of these films. Crystalinity of the films increases with the growth temperature. The films grown at high temperature have preferred orientation along (222) direction, while films grown at low temperature behave more like to nanocrystaline. It is observed that electrical properties of the films strongly depend on growth temperature. The resistivity and magnetoresistance of the films decreases with increase in growth temperature. On the other hand, mobility of the films increases with increase in growth temperature. This could be due to improvement in crystalinity of the films.
