Abstract

Zn 0.96 Mn 0.04 O ∕ Zn O coaxial nanocable and Zn0.96Mn0.04O film were prepared by two-step method and magnetron sputtering, respectively. The x-ray diffraction analysis reveals that Mn is incorporated well into the wurtzite ZnO without formation of Mn or Mn oxide. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy image and the selected-area electron diffraction pattern demonstrate that both ZnO and Zn0.96Mn0.04O layers are single crystalline and an epitaxial growth is achieved between Zn0.96Mn0.04O and ZnO in the coaxial nanocable. The magnetic property measurements show that both Zn0.96Mn0.04O∕ZnO nanocable and Zn0.96Mn0.04O film are ferromagnetic at room temperature. Moreover, the saturated magnetization and the coercive field of Zn0.96Mn0.04O∕ZnO coaxial nanocable are larger than those of Zn0.96Mn0.04O film.
