Abstract
We report on microstructural, optical and magnetic properties of (Zn,Mn)O nanostructures synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Average diameters of the as grown (Zn,Mn)O nanorods and nanowires were βΌ400 nm and βΌ50 nm, respectively. Xβray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra provided the evidence that Mn was incorporated into ZnO lattice. PL spectra of the (Zn,Mn)O nanostructures showed shift in near band edge (NBE) emission at 396 nm together with a green band (GB) emission at 510 nm and a blue band (BB) emission at 460 nm. Magnetic measurements revealed mixed magnetic phases (ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic) in the (Zn,Mn)O nanostructures. Vaporβsolidβsolid (VSS) mechanism was thought to be responsible for the growth of the nanostructures at low temperatures. (Β© 2011 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
