Hydrothermal Synthesis and Room Temperature Ferromagnetism of Ni-Doped Rod-Like ZnO Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles with doping concentration of 1 at.% were synthesized at 200°C by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure hexagonal wurtzite structure without metallic Ni or other secondary phases and display rod-like shape with smooth surface. The magnetization measurements reveal that the Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles show ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercive field are 0.0046 emu/g and 15 Oe, respectively.
