Ni-doped ZnO diluted magnetic semiconductors nanorods were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology, constituent elements and optical proprety of the products using this method were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (XEDS) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The experiment results show that the morphology of samples were nanorods with good dispersion, all the diffraction peaks correspond to the wurtzite structure hexagonal phase, no other impurity phase appeare, and the Ni2+ions successfully substituted for the lattice site and generate single-phase Zn1-xNixO. The band gap increases firstly and reduces afterward with the increase of Ni2+contents.

The 5% Fe-doped ZnO nanorods (Zn0.95Fe0.05O) were prepared successfully by the wet-chemical synthesis method. Structure and morphology characterization were demonstrated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Laser power dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured to study the electronic structures of the Fe-doped ZnO-based diluted magnetic semiconductors. The contraction of lattice constant and structured green-yellow-red emissions were analyzed. Such investigations confirmed that the induced defects or impurities originating from Fe ions.

Diluted magnetic semiconductors Zn1-xNixS with different consistency ratio (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07) were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method using ethylenediamine as a modifier. The influence of Ni doping concentration on the microstructure, morphology, and optical and magnetic properties of undoped and Ni doped ZnS nanocrystals was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (XEDS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The experiment results show the substitution of Ni2+ on Zn2+ sites without changing the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnS and generate single-phase Zn1-xNixS with good crystallization. The lattice constant causes distortion and decreases with the increase of Ni2+ doped concentration. The appearance of the samples is one-dimensional well-dispersed nanorods. UV-vis spectra reveal the band gap of all Zn1-xNixS samples greater than that of bulk ZnS (3.67 eV), and blue shift phenomenon occurs. The photoluminescence spectra of undoped and doped samples possess the broad blue emission band in the range of 400–650 nm; the PL intensities of Zn1-xNixS nanorods increase with the increase of Ni content comparing to pure ZnS and reach maximum for x = 0.03. Magnetic measurements indicated that the undoped ZnS samples are superparamagnetic, whereas the doped samples exhibit ferromagnetism.

Cobalt doped zinc oxide diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) were assembled in MCM-41 template by sol-gel method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), physisorption, as well as the magnetism measurement. It was found that the wurtzite symmetry of the MCM-41 pores was not changed while the pore diameter became smaller after the DMSs deposited into the pores. The Zn0.9Co0.1O-MCM-41 presents a superparamagnetic behavior between 80K and 300K, while Zn0.9TM0.1O-MCM-41 (TM=Mn, Fe, Ni) samples are paramagnetic at the same temperature range.

AbstractThe magnetic characteristics of the dilute magnetic system GaGdN are investigated by mainly soft-X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in energy range of 1160 – 1240 eV. The strong MCD signals up to 30 % at 15K are observed. The temperature dependence of its intensity is not on simple Curie-Weiss curve and depicts three-step curve. A step around 40 – 100K suggests a new magnetic phase. The luminescence spectrum of GaGdN at low temperature is divided into three parts consisting of two broad bands around 432 nm and 503 nm and a sharp peak at 652 nm. This sharp line is assigned to the intra-transition of f – f orbital owing to the weak temperature dependence of the intensity and peak position. AlGdN grown by molecular beam epitaxy produces luminescence at 318.5 nm. X-ray absorption fine structure is examined to survey the occupancy of the Gd ion in the grown specimens.

Na-doped ZnO nanorods have been fabricated through a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses indicate that the d spacing of ZnO increases with increasing doping concentration, suggesting the effective incorporation of dopant Na in the samples. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements indicate that there are shallow donors in pure ZnO samples and the shallow donors are strongly prohibited by Na doping. In addition, the resonance at g = 2.005 suggests the formation of Zn vacancies. Magnetic measurements indicate that pure ZnO is paramagnetic and Na doping leads to ferromagnetism at room temperature. Moreover, 0.5% Na-doped ZnO nanorods exhibits the largest saturation magnetization.

High-quality neodymium oxychlorides nanocrystals with cubic shape were synthesized by a nonhydrolytic thermolysis route. The morphology and crystal structure of the neodymium oxychlorides nanocubes were characterized by transmission electron microscopy at the nanoscale. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image shows that the neodymium oxychlorides nanocrystals are nearly monodispersed with cube-like shape. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of numerous neodymium oxychlorides nanocubes suggest a pure crystal phase with tetragonal PbFCl matlockite structure. HRTEM image of individual neodymium oxychlorides nanocubes indicate that each nanocubes have a single-crystalline nature with high quality. Unlike the anti-ferromagnetism of the bulk, the neodymium oxychlorides nanocubes show clearly anomalous ferromagnetic characteristic at room temperature. This finding provides a new platform for the exploration of diluted magnetic semiconductors, rare earth-based nanomaterials and so on.

In this study, well-aligned single-crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods arrays were synthesized on Si substrate by simple hydrothermal process in dilute aqueous solution which consisting of zinc nitrate tetrahydrate (Zn(NO3)2•4H2O) and hexamethyltetramine (C6H12N4, HMT) at 90 °C, in the autoclave. ZnO thin film was pre-deposited on Si substrate by the sputter deposition to serve as the seed layer. Aluminum nitrite (Al(NO3)3) also has been mixed into reaction solution. Al doped ZnO nanorod arrays were fabricated successfully. ZnO nanorods were characterized by high resolution X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurement.
