Abstract

Zn1-xMgxO (x = 0.0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15) nanoparticles have been synthesized using hydroxyoxalate type precursor by simple chemical precipitation method. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) study reveals that the nanoparticles crystallize in the hexagonal wurtzite structure in the space group P63mc with (1 0 0) being the preferred growth plane. The average crystallite size of the compounds acquired from XRD and TEM analyses are nearly identical with values around 30 ± 5 nm. The doped samples, with reported ferromagnetic properties, are found to have ferroelectric properties. The magneto-electric (ME) voltage coefficient of the multiferroic samples is found to have appreciable values and increases with increase in doping concentration.
