“…26 Most of the experimental results show that, among transition-metal dopants, Co-doped ZnO systems are ferromagnetic in both thin films as well as bulk materials. 13,16,27 Also, there have been few reports of ferromagnetism in Mn-, 28,29 Ni-, 30 and some other TM-doped 31 ͑such as Cr or V͒ ZnO. The ferromagnetism in the Mn-doped system is yet to be understood, as Mn in the +2 valence state does not dope any carrier into the ZnO system and hence, by first-principles studies, 24 must lead to an antiferromagnetic ground state.…”
