A CEMS search for precipitate formation in 57Fe implanted ZnO

  • Conference paper
ICAME 2011

Abstract

Conversion electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy measurements have been made on ZnO single crystals implanted with 60 keV 57Fe to 4 and 8 at.% peak concentrations, and annealed up to 800°C. The spectra show quite strong changes with annealing, but no evidence of magnetic components, thus precluding the formation of large sized precipitates or secondary phases. Above an annealing temperature of 650°C, the dominant spectral component is a doublet with hyperfine parameters typical of Fe3 + , which is attributed to Fe3 +  ions in nano-precipitates ∼5 nm in size.
