摘要：
In this paper, we report the fabrication and systematic characterization of Fe Doped ZnO thin Films. Fe, Zn1-x (x = 0 < 0.05) films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering on Si (400) substrate. Influence of Fe doping on structural, optical and magnetic properties has been studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that Fe doping has affected the crystalline structure, grain size and strain in the thin films. The best crystalline structure is obtained for 3% Fe Doping as observed from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The magnetic properties studied using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer reveals the room temperature ferromagnetic nature of the thin films. However, changing the Fe concentration degrades the magnetic property in turn. The mechanism behind the above results has been discussed minutely in this paper.
