Abstract

The Mn, Al co-doped ZnO samples were synthesized using solid-state reaction method and were annealed in furnace at 300 °C, 600 °C and 900°C temperature. All the samples prepared were investigated in detail for analysis of their structural, morphological, optical, magnetic and electrical behavior. The XRD data confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of pristine, Mn doped and Al, Mn co-doped ZnO. For morphological investigation SEM and TEM techniques were employed. The PL properties of the ZnO:Mn, Al sample revealed emission in the blue region (415-438 nm). Furthermore, IV studies were carried out to examine the conductivity of the ZnO:Mn, Al samples and maximum conductivity was found in the sample with 5% Al doping and annealing temperature 600 °C. The magnetic measurements revealed room temperature ferromagnetic behavior in the optimized ZnO:Mn, Al sample annealed at 600 °C which indicates its suitability for Magneto-Opto Electronic Applications.
