ABSTRACTMg doped ZnO thin films were prepared by DC/RF magnetron co-sputtering in (Ar+O2) ambient conditions using metallic Mg and Zn targets. We present a comprehensive study of the effects of film thickness on the structural, optical and magnetic properties. Room temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the films and the saturation magnetization (MS) increases at first as the film’s thickness increases and then decreases. The MS value as high as ∼15.76 emu/cm3 was achieved for the Mg-doped ZnO film of thickness 120 nm. The optical band gap of the films determined to be in the range 3.42 to 3.52 eV.

We report on the growth of Co -doped ZnO nanowires (NWs) on Si substrate using a self-catalytic vapor deposition method from a Co -doped ZnO nanopowder source and study its structural, optical and magnetic properties for the as-grown and rapid thermal annealed samples. Co (5%)-doped ZnO ( ZnCoO ) nanoparticles (NPs) are used as source material for the growth process. Electron microscopy imaging clearly reveals the formation of long ZnO NWs with uniform diameter. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the single crystalline hexagonal structure of Co -doped ZnO NWs without impurities of metallic cobalt or other phases. Micro-Raman studies of doped samples show doping/disorder induced additional modes as compared to the undoped ZnO . Room temperature photoluminescence spectra of the doped ZnO NWs show strong emission band at ~380 nm and no significant emission was observed in the visible region indicating low defect content in the NWs. The field dependent magnetization (M–H curve) measured at room temperature exhibits paramagnetic nature for the NWs with the magnetic moment in the range 2–3.7 milli-emu/cm2 for the applied field of 2 Tesla, while the source ZnCoO NPs exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism with saturation magnetization ~6 emu/g. Possible mechanism of alteration in magnetic behavior in doped NWs are discussed based on the growth conditions and role of defects.
