Enhanced indirect ferromagnetic p-d exchange coupling of Mn in oxygen rich ZnO:Mn nanoparticles synthesized by wet chemical method J. Appl. Phys. 111, 033503 (2012); 10.1063/1.3679129High temperature carrier controlled ferromagnetism in alkali doped ZnO nanorods Enhanced ferromagnetism was observed from the H 2 O 2 -treated p-type ͑Zn 0.93 Mn 0.07 ͒O : As layer. Compared with the untreated sample, the H 2 O 2 -treated sample showed the enlarged ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with approximately two-times-increased spontaneous magnetization. And also, in comparison with the untreated sample ͑T C ϳ 280 K͒, the H 2 O 2 -treated sample exhibited to have the increased T C persisting up to above 350 K. These results were confirmed to originate from the enhanced p-d hybridization due to the decrease in negatively charged residual background carriers. This is because the increased effective g-factor resulting from the decrease in oxygen-related defects acting as native deep donors was observed from the H 2 O 2 -treated sample.
