Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles were produced in ZnO single crystals using ion implantation of Ni along the [0001] channelling direction of ZnO. The particles were identified by X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements as a distribution of superparamagnetic nickel nanoparticles having diameters in the range 2 − 3 nm. The depth distribution and size of the particles were determined using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The obtained results agree with magnetization and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. From the determined depth distribution, the density change of implanted region of the material modified by the implantation procedure was estimated.
