摘要
Manganese-doped zinc oxide (Mn-doped ZnO) thin films were prepared using chemical bath deposition (CBD), and the impacts of the manganese dopant concentration on the structure, electrical resistivity, optical transmission, and magnetic properties were investigated using x-ray diffractometry, Hall-effect measurements, ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-Vis-IR) spectrophotometry, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), respectively. The concentration of the manganese dopant in the ZnO thin film critically impacted the resulting properties, and the 4.0 at.% Mn-doped ZnO film had a resistivity of 5.8 x 10(-2) Omega cm, transmittance of 75.6% in the visible light range, and bandgap of 3.30 eV when the film was annealed at 600A degrees C in an Ar + H-2 atmosphere. Annealing the film could enhance its magnetic properties such that the film had a saturation magnetization of 21.0 emu/cm(3) and a coercivity of 45.7 Oe after annealing at 600A degrees C. Because of these electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, Mn-doped thin films are promising for use in spintronic devices.
