A key to room-temperature ferromagnetism in Fe-doped ZnO: Cu
Successful synthesis of room-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors,
ZnFeO, is reported. The essential ingredient in achieving
room-temperature ferromagnetism in bulk ZnFeO was found to be
additional Cu doping. A transition temperature as high as 550 K was obtained in
ZnFeCuO; the saturation magnetization at room
temperature reached a value of per Fe. Large
magnetoresistance was also observed below K.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; to appear in Appl. Phys. Let
