摘要
The effect of thermal treatment on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of Mn- doped ZnO film prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering has been investigated. Higher pre- annealing temperature (> 700 degrees C) in O-2 or N-2 caused the formation of a ZnMn2O4 room-temperature paramagnetic precipitate which decreased the amount of substituted Mn2+ ions in ZnO matrix. Meanwhile, the amount of oxygen vacancies, especially the singly ionized oxygen vacancies, increased after N-2/H-2 annealing obtained by the analysis of photoluminescence spectrum. So based on the bound magnetic polaron model, we emphasized that the effective doping density of Mn2+ ions together with the singly ionized oxygen vacancies play an important role in tuning the magnetic coupling of Mn- doped ZnO film.
