Abstract

Of late, d0 ferromagnetic oxide materials have been studied as potential material for spintronics application. We investigate the crystal structure, magnetic, optical, and dielectric properties of Ag-doped TiO2 compounds. XRD study reveals polycrystalline rutile form of TiO2 with tetragonal-type structure. SEM micrographs show spherical particles of size 2–3 µm. All the compounds exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperature beyond 400 K and with a typical coercivity value in the range 130–550 Oe. The bifurcation of ZFC and FC M–T curves points out magnetic irreversibility. All Ag-doped TiO2 compounds exhibited p-type conductivity as per the Hall effect study. Optical absorbance data indicate the widening of the band gap up to 6% of Ag doping followed by a decrease for higher doping and these materials exhibit transmittance in the range of 20–30%. The compounds exhibit zero dielectric loss and appreciable dielectric constant and their AC conductivity increases with Ag doping.
