Abstract Pure ZnO and Co/Mn co-doped ZnO {Zn 0.98-x Co 0.02 Mn x O (0≤ x≤ 0.06)}
nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological …

Reports of room-temperature ferromagnetism continue to emerge for an ever-growing range
of nanomaterials with a small or even vanishing concentration of magnetic atoms. Dilute …

Controlled incorporation of single atoms in a suitable host matrix can result in a radical
transformation in catalytic properties. However, finding a straightforward synthetic strategy …

In the early days of ion beam analysis, ie the early 60s, channeling was discovered and
brought to maturity via a combined effort in experimental, computational and theoretical …

We report the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of erbium (Er) implanted zinc
oxide (ZnO) single crystals. Rutherford backscattering and channeling results showed that …

Significant progress in the field of wide-gap dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) depends
on the discovery of a material system which not only shows high-temperature …

The concept and functionality of an apparatus dedicated to emission channeling
experiments using short-lived isotopes on-line at ISOLDE/CERN is described. The setup is …

Charge states and lattice sites of Fe ions in virgin and Mn-doped Al x Ga 1− x N samples
were investigated using 57 Fe emission Mössbauer spectroscopy following radioactive 57 …

As the intrinsic origin of the high-temperature ferromagnetism often observed in wide-gap
dilute magnetic semiconductors becomes increasingly debated, there is a growing need for …

We report on the lattice location of Mn in wurtzite GaN using β− emission channeling. In
addition to the majority substituting for Ga, we locate up to 20% of the Mn atoms in N sites …
