Description

We have studied the magnetic properties of ZnO nanocrystals doped with MnO and CoO in the wide range of magnetic dopant (from 5 to 95 wt. %), synthetized by wet chemical method. The samples were characterized by means of XRD and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The results of systematic measurements of magnetic susceptibility as a function of temperature and frequency as well as SQUID magnetization are presented. We observed different types of magnetic behavior. ZnO nanocrystals doped with CoO demonstrate Curie-Weiss behavior at higher temperatures. For samples doped with MnO, we observed the superparamagnetism above the blocking temperature.
