Mössbauer spectra Sample A No magnetic ordering of the iron, Fe3+, with an isomer shift of 0.37 mm s-1 relative to α-Fe, and a quadrupole splitting of 0.46 mm s-1, as expected for substituted Fe3+ on tetrahedral site in ZnO. A Sample B 70% of the iron is a similar +3 state. However, 30% of the iron appears in a magnetically order form, identified from the spectrum as magnetite and hematite. B MANSE Midterm Review

  28. ZnO nanorods 5%Co-doped ZnO nanorods Hydrothermal, Zn acetate, Co acetate, NaOH, 120°C for 12h MANSE Midterm Review

  29. Summary In two nanoparticle systems — ZnO;M and LSTO;M the TM dopants are usually paramagnetic. Ferromagnetic moments only apperar in some sample when M = Fe, Co or Ni. Where it was possible to analyse the iron phases specifically, using Mossbauer spectroscopy, evidence of a ferromagnetic secondary phase (Fe or Fe3O4) was found. It is likely that much or all of the ferromagnetism in these materials can be explained by ferromagnetic secondary phases. The origin of the room temperature ferromagnetism in the Fe and Ni doped ZnO prepared with a non-homogeneous precursor is explained by the presence of a secondary phase magnetite and metallic Ni, respectively. The evidence indicates that room temperature ferromagnetism in these doped ZnO nanoparticles has an extrinsic origin. MANSE Midterm Review
