Does defect magnetism exist? In ZnO, implanted Mn/Fe Fe3+ shows slow paramagnetic relaxations -> No spin-spin relaxations with defects <- Theory overestimates range of magnetism from isolated defects (Zunger et al., 2010), data misinterpretated and precipitation not documented (Potzger et al., 2008+) Is defect or dilute magnetism myth?
Defect magnetism exists! • Implantation of 57**Fe into Graphite • Sextet (Fe2+) observed at 14 K • Reduced Bhf at 40 K (not a static Bhf) Sieleman et al., PRL, 2007
Conclusions/summary -Implanted Mn/Fe ions in oxides lead to TM in various charge states and lattice sites -Fe as 3+ state has extremely long relaxation time and displays static (para)-magnetic spectra. Most extreme case Fe in ZnO. -Application of external magnetic field decouples perturbing fields and yields spectrum looking like an effective magnetic field. -Identification of defect related magnetism by Mössbauer spectroscopy has been observed at very low temperatures in graphite.
