In this article, the electrical, magnetic, and magnetotransport properties of Li-Ni codoped ZnO thin films in the electron dominated, hole dominated, and insulating regimes were investigated.
Abstract
We investigated the electrical, magnetic, and magnetotransport properties of Li–Ni codoped ZnO thin films in the electron dominated, hole dominated, and insulating regimes. In a narrow window of oxygen growth pressure, 10−3–10−2 mbar, the films exhibited p-type conductivity with a maximum hole concentration ∼8.2×1017 cm−3. Magnetoresistance exhibited by the films is attributed to scattering of charge carriers due to localized magnetic moments. Insulating films showed superparamagnetic behavior, whereas both n-type and p-type films showed room temperature ferromagnetism. Our findings suggest that oxygen vacancies and Ni ions in cation site are jointly responsible for ferromagnetism that is not dependent on the carrier type.

Oxygen Vacancy Promoted Heterogeneous Fenton-like Degradation of Ofloxacin at pH 3.2-9.0 by Cu Substituted Magnetic Fe3O4@FeOOH Nanocomposite

TL;DR: The new formed oxygen vacancy from in situ Fe substitution by Cu rather than promoted Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle was responsible for the ultraefficiency of Cu doped Fe3O4@FeOOH at neutral and even alkaline pHs.

Antimicrobial Mechanism Based on H2O2 Generation at Oxygen Vacancies in ZnO Crystals

TL;DR: The comparatively detections showed that the antimicrobial activity of ZnO was correlated with its production of H2O2, and the t-ZnO treated in H2, which possessed the most V(O) in its crystal, produced the most H2 O2 and displayed the best antimacterial activity.

Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism of Flowerlike CuO Nanostructures

TL;DR: In this article, the results of X-ray diffraction and Raman and Xray photoelectron spectroscopies show that the samples annealed at 400, 600, and 800 °C have a typical monoclinic structure and are absent of impurity phases.

Zener Model Description of Ferromagnetism in Zinc-Blende Magnetic Semiconductors

TL;DR: Zener's model of ferromagnetism, originally proposed for transition metals in 1950, can explain T(C) of Ga(1-)(x)Mn(x)As and that of its II-VI counterpart Zn(1)-Mn (x)Te and is used to predict materials with T (C) exceeding room temperature, an important step toward semiconductor electronics that use both charge and spin.

TL;DR: It is proposed thatferromagnetic exchange here, and in dilute ferromagnetic nitrides, is mediated by shallow donor electrons that form bound magnetic polarons, which overlap to create a spin-split impurity band.

Anisotropic ferromagnetism in substituted zinc oxide.

TL;DR: Results are interpreted in terms of a spin-split donor impurity-band model, which can account for ferromagnetism in insulating or conducting high-k oxides with concentrations of magnetic ions that lie far below the percolation threshold.
