Description

The nanostructural characteristics of ZnO implanted with Mn+ to doses ranging from 1x1015 to 1x1017 cm-2 are systematically studied for both as-implanted and postannealed cases. The detailed structural characterizations confirmed that the Mn+ implantation and postannealing result in (1) the formation of crystallographically orientated Zn nanocrystals in the ZnO matrix and (2) Mn atoms occupy the Zn sites in ZnO
