Wurtzite structure ZnO films (3×3 mm2) with a partial-area Cu doping were successfully prepared using a micro-area Ar+-ion beam (~ 380 μm in diameter) and a simultaneous Cu supply at room temperature. A Cu2O phase was formed in the ZnO films by Cu doping. The partially Cu-doped ZnO films exhibited room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) with a saturation magnetization of 1.6×10−5 emu and a coercive field of 40 Oe. Since Zn, Cu, and their compounds are not ferromagnetic, the observed RTFMis attributed to the intrinsic property of Cu-doped ZnO films. As confirmed by the low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra, no serious optical damage was recognized in the region without Ar+-ion irradiation. Thus, it was believed that the micro-area Ar+-ion irradiation with a simultaneous Cu supply was promising to integrate the magnetic and optical properties of ZnO-based materials.

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.
