Abstract

The high-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped ZnO samples fabricated by the standard solid-state reaction method is reported. Additional Cu doping into bulk Zn0.98Co0.02O is essential to achieve room-temperature ferromagnetism. Structure and composition analyses revealed that cobalt is incorporated into the lattice structure, forming a solid solution instead of precipitates. In the case of Zn0.97Cu0.01Co0.02O, the coercive field measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature is 60Oe. The implication of the effect of Cu doping in bulk Zn0.98Co0.02O is also discussed.
