Abstract: | The Zn(1-x)Mn(x)O (x = 0, 0.16, and 0.25) thin films were grown on fused quartz substrates by reactive magnetron cosputtering. X-ray-diffraction measurement revealed that all the films were single phase and had wurtzite structure with c-axis orientation. As Mn concentration increased in the Zn(1-x)Mn(x)O films, the c-axis lattice constant and band-gap energy increased gradually. In Raman-scattering studies, an additional Mn-related vibration mode appeared at 520 cm(-1). E(2H) phonon line of Zn(1-x)Mn(x)O alloy was broadened asymmetrically and redshifted as a result of microscopic structural disorder induced by Mn(2+) random substitution. The Zn(0.84)Mn(0.16)O film exhibited a ferromagnetic characteristic with a Curie temperature of approximately 62 K. However, with increasing Mn concentration to 25 at. %, ferromagnetism disappeared due to the enhanced antiferromagnetic superexchange interactions between neighboring Mn(2+) ions. |
