Abstract: | This paper reports that a chemical method is employed to
synthesize Co and Al co-doped ZnO, namely, Zn$_{0.99 -
x}$Co$_{0.01}$Al$_{x}$O dilution semiconductors with the nominal
composition of $x=0$, 0.005 and 0.02. Structural, magnetic and
optical properties of the produced samples are studied. The results
indicate that samples sintered in air under the temperatures of
500~\du\ show a single wurtzite ZnO structure and the
ferromagnetism decreases with the increase of Al. Photoluminescence
spectra of different Al-doped samples indicate that increasing Al
concentration in Zn$_{0.99 - x}$Co$_{0.01}$Al$_{x}$O results in a
decrease of Zn$_{\rm i}$, which resembles the trend of the
ferromagnetic property of the corresponding samples. Therefore, it
is deduced that the ferromagnetism observed in the studied samples
originates from the interstitial defect of zinc (Zn$_{\rm i}$ )
in the lattice of Co-doped ZnO. |
