This review summarizes recent first-principles investigations of the electronic structure and
magnetism of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), which are interesting for applications …

This review article first presents a summary of current understanding of the magnetic
properties and intrinsic ferromagnetism of transition-metal (TM)-doped ZnO films, which are …

We review two strategies for growing ZnO nanowires from zinc salts in aqueous and organic
solvents. Wire arrays with diameters in the nanoscale regime can be grown in an aqueous …

There has been considerable recent interest in the design of diluted magnetic
semiconductors, with a particular focus on the exploration of different semiconductor hosts …

Over the past decade intensive research efforts have been carried out by researchers
around the globe on exploring the effects of dilute do** of magnetic impurities on the …

Concomitant with the development of metal-based spintronics in the late 1980s and 1990s,
important advances were made on the growth of high-quality oxide thin films and …

We experimentally show that it is possible to induce room-temperature ferromagnetic-like
behavior in ZnO nanoparticles without do** with magnetic impurities but simply inducing …

Dilute magnetic oxides are transparent, wide-bandgap materials that behave
ferromagnetically when doped with a few percent of a magnetic 3d cation. The magnetism …

The introduction of ferromagnetic order in ZnO results in a transparent piezoelectric
ferromagnet and further expands its already wide range of applications into the emerging …

In this short topical review, a brief account of the evolution of defects due to controlled
changes in polycrystalline zinc oxide has been presented. X-ray diffraction, Positron …
