The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

We present results of the preparation (by precursor decomposition), characterization (with x-
ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and dc magnetization measurements), and …

Co-doped ZnO (Co x Zn 1− x O) is of potential interest for spintronics due to the prediction of
room-temperature ferromagnetism. We have grown epitaxial Co x Zn 1− x O films on Al 2 O 3 …

ZnO is a well-known semiconducting material showing a wide bandgap and an n-type
intrinsic behavior of high interest in applications such as transparent electronics …

Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed in thin films of ZnO doped with 1–25 at.%
cobalt. Bulk samples were synthesized by a solid-state reaction technique and (110) …

ZnO films were grown on polycrystalline Zn foil by cathodic electrodeposition in an aqueous
zinc chloride/calcium chloride solution at 80 C. Variation in the electrochemical parameters …

The properties of a range of 3 d transition metals and their complexes with hydrogen are
studied using local-density-functional methods. The location of the impurity-related 3 d …

Electronic structure of Co x Zn 1− x O magnetic semiconductor was investigated by means of
density functional calculations using local density approximation (LDA) and LDA+ U …

ZnO nano-rods were grown on polycrystalline Zn foil by cathodic electrodeposition in an
aqueous zinc chloride/calcium chloride solution at 80 C. Variations in the solution …

We have investigated the magnetic properties of Co-doped ZnO films on glass substrates
prepared by sputtering. Annealing and chemical doping are performed to study the …
