Structural and magnetic properties have been studied for polycrystalline
Zn_1-xMn_xO (x=0.02, 0.03, 0.05). Low-temperature (~500 oC) synthesis leaves
unreacted starting ZnO and manganese oxides. Contrary to a recent report, no
bulk ferromagnetism was observed for single-phase materials synthesized in air
at temperatures above 900 oC. Single-phase samples show paramagnetic
Curie-Weiss behavior.Comment: Accepted for publication in J. Appl. Phys., RevTeX, 3 pages, 4
