Physical Characterization of Defects in ZnO Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Kevin Kittilstved
Project type
Exploratory Research
We have recently reported above-room-temperature ferromagnetism in Mn2+-, Co2+, and Ni2+-doped ZnO nanocrystalline aggregates and thin films using high-quality colloids as solution precursors. The…

Preparation of ZnO thin films by MOCVD

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Daniel Gamelin
Project type
Exploratory Research
This research is aimed at manipulating the carriers in oxide based diluted magnetic semiconductors by adsorbing and decomposing small molecules on their surfaces. This chemical manipulation however…

Study of the ferromagnetic activation in ZnO diluted magnetic semiconductors

Lead Institution
University of Washington
Principal Investigator
Daniel Gamelin
Project type
Exploratory Research
We wish to study the in situ activation of ferromagnetic ordering in Mn2+:ZnO using vibrating sample magnetometry. We have previously shown that decomposition of amines activated ferromagnetism, but…
