Abstract
High-resolution near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) at MnK edge is employed to probe the local environment of Mn dopant in ZnO. First-principles supercell calculations are systematically made to obtain theoretical NEXAFS. Mn is found to substitute for Zn up to 5at.%Mn in polycrystalline samples sintered at 1623K in air. Presence of Mn3O4 is apparent for samples with higher Mn content. The NEXAFS does not change in the range of Mn concentration from 0.01 to 5at.%, indicating the absence of Mn precipitates. The results are confirmed by examining the polarization dependence of the NEXAFS for a 5at.%-doped ZnO thin film.
