The effects of hydrogen, either interstitial (HI) or substitutional (Ho), on magnetic properties of Co doped ZnO (ZnO:Co) have been systematically investigated using first-principles density functional calculations. The study discovers the correlation between the distribution of Co ions and the hydrogen point defect and magnetism. It is found that Co ions and hydrogen have a strong tendency toward aggregation and hydrogen mainly contributes to the room temperature ferromagnetism observed experimentally in ZnO:Co . Furthermore, in ZnO:Co , the formation of Ho with four-fold hydrogenic bonds is favored over HI by 0.4 eV.

Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were fabricated by an electrodeposition method. The XPS results show Co ions have doped into the ZnO crystal lattices successfully. The as-grown sample has no ferromagnetism at room temperature. But after an ammine plasma treatment the room temperature ferromagnetism were detected on Co0.04Zn0.96O nanoparticles. The Hall measurement reveals after the treatment the resistivity increase by three orders of magnitude. Although the aspect conductivity is n type, some holes generated by N doping play an important role to induce the ferromagnetic properties for Co doped ZnO sample.

Successful synthesis of room-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors, (Cu, Co) co-doped ZnO film is obtained by sol-gel method. It is found that the essential ingredient in achieving room-temperature ferromagnetism is Cu co-doping. By Hall-effect measurement ap-type conductivity was observed for the Cu co-doped films, which induced the room-temperature ferromagnetism.
