Description

We study the X-band EPR spectra of Co2+ in single-crystalline Zn1-xCoxO (x=0.001-0.075) thin films grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. By analyzing the EPR linewidth behavior we argue that the exchange-narrowing model, usually applied to Mn-based II-VI DMS, fails here and that a combined effect of exchange and dipolar broadening can explain the linewidth variation with Co content and temperature
