Abstract
Abstract Zn0.95−xCo0.05CuxO powders have been synthesized by the sol–gel method and the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the powders have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicate that the Co ions do not change the ZnO wurtzite structure. Magnetic measurements indicate that Co doping can induce room temperature (RT) ferromagnetism and the addition of Cu to the powders further increases the magnetic moment per Co ion. The effects of the introduction of Cu as an acceptor dopant in the host matrix are further studied using resistance measurements. It is demonstrated experimentally that acceptor doping plays an important role in realizing dominant ferromagnetic ordering in Co doped ZnO powders.
