Abstract
Nanocrystalline Zn0.95âxNi0.05AlxO (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.10) diluted magnetic semiconductors have been synthesized by an autocombustion method. X-ray absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry and Ni 2p core-level photoemission spectroscopy analyses revealed that some of the nickel ions were substituted for Zn2+ into the ZnO matrix while others gave birth to NiO nanoclusters embedded in the ZnO particles. The Zn0.95Ni0.05O sample showed no enhancement of room-temperature ferromagnetism after Al doping.
