AbstractTransition metals doped ZnO are possible candidates for multiferroics. Here, we have investigated the evolution of ferromagnetism due to Co dopants. The magnetic properties have been studied for Co concentrations from 0 to 100% by using ab-initio methods, i.e., KKR Green's function techniques. In order to estimate the Curie temperature we have performed Monte Carlo simulations with ab-initio calculated exchange parameters.From our calculations the onset of ferromagnetism occurs between 5 to 20% of Co depending on the numerical details of KKR method used. For Co concentrations larger than 50% the system is dominated by antiferromagnetic coupling and no Curie temperature can be obtained.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we report on the material properties of ZnO doped with Mn, Co, and Fe grown by a modified melt growth technique. X-ray diffraction measurements show that transition metals can be incorporated on Zn sites; an increase in the lattice parameter is apparent with increasing doping level. UV-visible transmission and reflectance measurements have also been performed. Absorption bands in the visible regime are distinctive to the individual transition metal dopants. A noticeable shift in the optical band edge has been observed from these Mn/Co/Fe-doped ZnO crystals in comparison with the undoped material. ZnO may also provide a suitable platform for the incorporation of transition metal elements through high temperature near equilibrium growth processes; however, further work is required in order to employ these materials for spintronic applications.

ABSTRACTTransition metal-doped ZnO bulk crystals and thin films have been investigated to determine the effects of transition metal incorporation on optical, magnetic, and structural properties of ZnO. A modified melt growth technique was used to grow bulk Zn1-xMnxO, Zn1-xCoxO, and Zn1-xFexO. Optical transmission measurements show an apparent shift in absorption edge with increasing transition metal incorporation. Raman spectroscopy also shows increasing lattice disorder with increasing transition metal concentration. ZnO thin films doped with Ni, Co, and Gd were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). While the Co-doped thin films showed antiferromagnetic behavior, magnetic hysteresis was observed in the Ni-doped and Gd-doped thin films. Structural quality was verified with X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical properties were investigated using room temperature photoluminescence (PL) and optical transmission measurements. Properties of ZnO:TM bulk crystals and thin films are compared and used to discuss possible origins of ferromagnetism in these materials.
