Synthesis and characterization of3d transition metals doped ZnO thin and nanostructures for possible spintronic applications

Abstract

newlineThe objective of the present study is the formation of single phase newlineZn1TMO thin films by PLD and increase the solubility limit of TM newlinedopants The TM doped ZnO nanostructures were also grown by hydrothermal newlinemethod The structural and morphological variation of ZnOTM thin newlinefilms and nanostructures with TM doping concentration is also investigated newlineThe origin and enhancement of ferromagnetism in single phase Zn1TMO newlinethin films and nanostructures using spectroscopic techniques were also studied newlineThe dependence of ablation parameters on the structural and optical newlineproperties of ZnO thin films were studied newline
