Abstract

In this paper, we present the structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of Zn1−x A x O (A = Ni, Co and x = 0.20 mol%) and Zn0.80Ni0.10Co0.10O nanoparticles synthesized by a chemical co-precipitation method. Powder X-ray diffraction data confirm the formation of a single-phase wurtzite-type ZnO structure for all the samples. FTIR and EDS measurements ensure that the divalent Ni and Co ions are incorporated in the wurtzite host matrix without any impurity phase. Photoluminescence and Raman spectra indicate the presence of donor defects and oxygen vacancies in the prepared samples. In VSM analysis, undoped ZnO nanoparticles exhibit diamagnetic behavior at room temperature. A systematic increase in ferromagnetic moment (~0.70 emu/g) is observed for Ni-, Co-doped and Co co-doped Ni/ZnO at 300 K. The exchange interaction between delocalized carriers and the localized ‘d’ spins of Ni and Co ions is predicted as the cause of the room temperature ferromagnetism.
