Cobalt-Doped ZnO Powders by a Simple Solid-State Method

Abstract:

Cobalt-doped ZnO powders with various dopant concentrations were synthesized using a simple-solid method. ZnO and Co₃O₄ powders were employed as the precursors. The powders were annealed at 500 - 900 °C in air. The crystal structural and magnetic properties were studied by means of XRD and VSM, respectively. The XRD patterns show the hexagonal wurtzite structure of the powders. The magnetic measurements by H-M loops reveal the combination of paramagnetism and ferromagnetism as well as the influence of Co dopant to magnetic properties of Zn_1-xCo_xO.
