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.

Enhanced degradation of sulfamethoxazole by Fe-Mn binary oxide synergetic mediated radical reactions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that FMBO can act as an efficient catalyst to remove SMX in hospital wastewater using the simultaneous co-precipitation and oxidation methods and the hydroxyl radicals generated by FMBO through Fenton-like reaction were responsible for the SMX oxidation.

The magnetic ordering in high magnetoresistance Mn-doped ZnO thin films

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the magnetic ordering of Mn-doped ZnO thin films that exhibited ferromagnetic ordering at 300 K and superparamagnetism at 5 K. They directly interrelated the magnetisation and magnetoresistance by invoking the polaron percolation theory and variable range of hopping conduction below the metal-to-insulator transition.

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.

Donor impurity band exchange in dilute ferromagnetic oxides.

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.
