“…It was delectable that in the same year, Sato and Katayama-Yoshida [5] predicted that the ferromagnetic state of Co 2 þ in Co-doped ZnO could be stabilized by an s-d hybridization, which pointed out the possibility of obtaining room-temperature ferromagnetism in n-type ZnO as well. Subsequently, V- [6], Cr- [7], Mn- [8], Fe- [9], Co- [10] and Ni- [11] doped ZnO were studied and room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed. However, a tough issue existing in these systems is that the 3d-transition metals and their oxides may precipitate during the growth process and form the so-called ferromagnetic ''secondary phase''.…”
