Abstract:
Single doped Zn1-xMnxO, Zn1-xFexO and codoped Zn1-x-yMnxFeyO, Zn1-x-yMnxSnyO,
Zn1-x-yMnxLiyO, Zn1-x-yFexAlyO thin films were grown on sapphire and glass substrate by
pulsed laser deposition and RF sputtering techniques. No secondary phases was detected from
XRD analysis. Among the studied oxide films single doped with Fe and codoped with (Mn,Fe)
and (Fe, Al) exhibit n-type conductivity and room temperature ferromagnetic behaviour. For
the films codoped with (Mn, Sn) formation of clusters including nanowire-like structures was
shown from AFM analysis. Optical and magnetooptical studies suggest of Mn, Fe, Sn and Li
substitution for Zn2+ ions in ZnO lattice.
