Abstract
The doped ZnO systems Zn1-x-y Mg x Al y O (ZMAO) (x=0, 0.05, 0.1 and y=0, 0.05 and 0.1) were prepared as polycrystalline nanoparticle by a simple sol-gel process. Structural and microstructural analyses were carried out applying X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld method. Analysis showed that Mg2+ and Al3+ replace Zn2+ substitutionally yielding ZMAO single phase. Replacing Zn+2 affects the lattice parameters in opposite ways, the parameter c decreases while a increases with an overall decrease in the ratio c/a, which deviates the ZMAO lattice gradually from the wurtzite hexagonal structure. The magnetization versus temperature was measured with zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) at different applied fields. Also, measurement of magnetization versus applied field was carried out at different temperatures. The system exhibits ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. The saturation magnetization increases as Al doped amount increases. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
