摘要
Carbon-doped ZnO (ZnO:C) thin films exhibiting Curie temperature above room temperature were fabricated using ion beam technique. The magnetic moment of the ZnO: C films was found to be around 1.35 mu(B) per carbon atom. The ZnO: C films showed p-type conduction with a hole concentration of similar to 5 X 10(17) cm(-3). In addition, the anomalous Hall effect and negative magnetoresistance can be detected in the ZnO: C films. The magnetotransport properties of the ZnO: C suggested that the films possessed charge carrier spin polarization. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3176434]
