摘要
Zn(1-x)Ei(x)O thin filnis have been fabricated on glass substrates by radiofrequency reactive magnetron sputtering. All the films were ferromagnetic at room temperature except for x = 0 and the estimated magnetic moment per Er ion decreased with increasing Er concentration. The presence of any secondary phase was ruled out based on X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ferromagnetism was attributed to the substitution of Er ions for Zn(21) in ZnO lattices, and could be interpreted by the bound-magnetic-polaron model. (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
