Synthesis and structural, magnetic characterization of Zn(Mn)O diluted magnetic semiconductor

The bulk samples with nominal composition Zn1−x Mnx O [x = 5% and 7%] were synthesized at 930 °C by Standard Solid State Reaction method. The structural analysis reveals the single phase nature. The Topography study indicates the distribution of the particles. Magnetic property was affirmed by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer, Zn1−x Mnx O (with x = 5%), low concentration of dopant shows good ferromagnetism compared to high concentration in Zn1−x Mnx O (with x = 7%).

► Standard solid state reaction method of synthesis.
► Structure analysis.
► Topographic study.
► Study of magnetization with respect to concentration.
