Abstract
Zn1−xMnxO (x = 0.01–0.1) thin films with a Curietemperature above 300 K are deposited on Al2O3 (0001)substrates by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD),ultraviolet (UV)-visible transmission and Raman spectroscopy areemployed to characterize the microstructural properties of these films.Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed by superconducting quantuminterference device (SQUID). The results indicate that Mn dopingintroduces the incorporation of Mn2+ ions into the ZnO hostmatrix and the insertion of Mn2+ ions increases the latticedefects, which is correlated with the ferromagnetism of the obtainedfilms. The doping concentration is also proven to be a crucial factorfor obtaining highly ferromagnetic Zn1−xMnxO films.
