Abstract
We report the transport and longitudinal magnetotransport studies of undoped and nickel (5at.% Ni) zinc oxide thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique. Low temperature (3K) negative magnetoresistance observed in pure and Ni doped films exhibit nearly same character and is ascribed to localized magnetic moment, while at high temperatures, three times larger magnetoresistance in Ni doped ZnO has been observed and has been assigned to the magnetic scattering due to transition metal ion impurity. Enhanced magnetic ordering in NiZnO thin film up to room temperature is also observed from its magnetization data.
