Abstract
Hydrothermal growth of Cr doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) thin films was grown on glass substrates. The strong ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering was observed in 3% and 7% of Cr doped samples. The optical excitation of the Cr doped ZnO NRs is responsible for injection of the spin-polarized carriers in the 3% Cr doped ZnO NRs through longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). We determined a negative anisotropic magnetoresistance (∼23%) originated from spin orbit coupling due to sp-d exchange interaction. we calculated the process of photon induced inverse spin Hall angle (θISHE∼3.94×10−2) close to the MOKE saturated rotation angle (θk∼0.046) for 3% Cr: ZnO. These results can open a new path of optical spin detectors for next-generation spintronic device technology.
