Abstract
The effects of high-dose manganese (Mn) implantation into ZnO thin films grown on sapphire substrates which produces ferromagnetism for n-type doping levels were discussed. The ZnO films were grown by pulse-laser deposition on c-plane Al 2O 3 substrates. It was observed that films showed n-type carrier concentration in the range of 2-5 × 10 20 cm -3 and room temperature hysteresis in magnetization loops, after Mn implantation and subsequent annealing at 600°C. The coercivity and saturation magnetization were strong functions of the annealing temperature and thus carrier concentrations, crystalline quality and residual defects account for the magnetic properties of ZnO:Mn.
