CdS nanoparticles and thin films are well known for their excellent semiconducting properties. When transition metal ions are doped into the CdS, it exhibits magnetic properties in addition to semiconducting properties and they are termed as dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). In this paper, we discuss the preparation of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT) capped CdS nanoparticles and thin films doped with magnetic impurity Mn. Sodium bis(2-ethulexyl) sulfonsuccinate (AOT), capping agent promotes the uniform formation of nanoparticles. Optical characterizations are made using the UV-Vis spectrometer, PL, and FTIR. XRD shows the hexagonal structure of the CdS. SEM images and EDS measurements were made for the thin films. EPR shows the clear hyperfine lines corresponding to Mn2+ion in the CdS nanoparticles.

AbstractSystematic studies on the epitaxial growth and the effect of n-type (Al,Ga) doping on the magnetic and electrical properties of 2.0 % Cu doped ZnO dilute magnetic semiconducting thin films deposited on c-plane sapphire single crystals by pulsed laser deposition are reported here. An decrease in more than 3 orders of magnitude in resistivity from 2×101 Ohm cm for the 2.0 % Cu doped ZnO to ~5×10-3 Ohm cm for Al and Ga codoped films is observed. This increase in conductivity does not show any effect on ferromagnetic ordering thus contradicting the claim of free carrier mediated exchange as being responsible for ferromagnetic ordering in these DMS systems. A bound magnetic polaron or F-center mediated exchange is a possible explanation for the origin of ferromagnetism in these ZnO based DMS thin films.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the effect of substrate on the domain structure growth and electrical and magnetic properties of epitaxial Mn-doped Zn0.8Mn0.15O (ZnMnO) thin films has been investigated. Epitaxial thin films of ZnMnO dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) were grown on various substrates such as single crystal sapphire, single crystal silicon, and quartz substrates using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique . Structural, surface, magnetic, and optical properties have been observed on these films using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffraction shows that films are highly epitaxial and c-axis oriented with some induced strain. AFM images show that film surface is smooth with RMS roughness of the order of 1-2 nm over 5*5sq.micron. Magnetic characteristic properties such as carrier concentration, mobility, and temperature dependent resistivity were also investigated. Carrier concentration decreases and mobility increases for both the films on silicon and quartz substrates when compared to film on sapphire.
