The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

Spintronics is a multidisciplinary field involving physics, chemistry, and engineering, and is a
new research area for solid‐state scientists. A variety of new materials must be found to …

The search for ferromagnetism above room temperature in dilute magnetic semiconductors
has been intense in recent years. We report the first observations of ferromagnetism above …

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 …

In 2002, we wrote an Analytical Chemistry feature article describing the Physics of Laser
Ablation in Microchemical Analysis. In line with the theme of the 2002 article, this manuscript …

The observation of ferromagnetism in magnetic ion doped II–VI diluted magnetic
semiconductors (DMSs) and oxides, and later in (Ga, Mn) As materials has inspired a great …

A review is given of recent results in develo** improved fabrication processes for ZnO
devices with the possible application to UV light emitters, spin functional devices, gas …

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

The origin of ferromagnetism in ZnO-based systems was investigated using Co-doped ZnO
