This review article first presents a summary of current understanding of the magnetic
properties and intrinsic ferromagnetism of transition-metal (TM)-doped ZnO films, which are …

The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is one of the most promising techniques for the formation of
complex-oxide heterostructures, superlattices, and well controlled interfaces. The first part of …

There is increasing acceptance of high‐throughput technologies for the discovery,
development, and optimization of materials and catalysts in industry. Over the years, the …

In this article the doping of the oxidic compound semiconductor ZnO is reviewed with special
emphasis on n-type doping. ZnO naturally exhibits n-type conductivity, which is used in the …

Thin-film transistors TFTs made of transparent channel semiconductors such as ZnO are of
great technological importance because their insensitivity to visible light makes device …

ZnO nanorods doped with Ag and Sb have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal
technique. Crystal quality, morphology, chemical/electronic composition, local structure, and …

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of Zn 1− x TM x O (TM= Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni,
and Cu) films were measured to clarify their magneto-optical properties. Noticeable magneto …

We report on the occurrence of high temperature ferromagnetism (FM) in ZnO nanoparticles
(NPs) doped with Co-atoms. ZnO NPs of two different initial sizes are doped with 3% and 5 …

Ferromagnetism in a 3d transition metal atom doped ZnO was investigated by ab initio
electronic structure calculations based on the local density approximation. It was shown that …
