Abstract
Low-temperature magnetic study of transition metal-doped ZnO nanoparticles tends to spring ambiguities of magnetic phases due to defect states, environment of doped ions, and anisotropy. Interestingly, vanadium doping in ZnO brings out versatile magnetic ordering which offers more room for basic understanding of the underlying mechanism. Vanadium-doped ZnO nanoparticles are prepared using a simple cost-effective approach of solution combustion method. Macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the samples have been unraveled using structural and morphological studies with the implications on the exhibited magnetic behavior. Development of antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic, and ferrimagnetic interactions in the material illustrated by low-temperature magnetic measurements preludes the possible interplay of dopant-initiated defect correlation and morphological and interfacial secondary phases. The grain boundary reformation due to vanadium in the ZnO nanograins is exploited through a systematic correlation of structural and morphological studies in order to gain more insight into the portrayed magnetic signatures.
