Solvothermal synthesis, optical and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Cd1−xMnxO (0.04<x=0.10) solid solutions

Room temperature ferromagnetism in undoped and Mn doped CdO nanostructures

“…The average crystallite sizes were found to be 19 ± 3, 13 ± 2, 12 ± 2, 11 ± 2, 10 ± 2 nm for Cd 1-x Table 1. reported by T. Ahmad et al [9]. These authors have explained this effect in terms of difference in radius of Mn 2+ and Cd 2+ ions.…”

Drastic improvement in magnetization of CdO nanoparticles by Fe doping

“…CdO and TM-doped CdO are valuable for a wide range of optoelectronic applications such as transparent conducting oxide, photo transistors, photo diodes, solar cells, transparent electrodes, and gas sensors (Aydn et al 2012;Zhao et al 2002;Daza et al 2001). Hence, TM ions such as Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Fe have been tried as dopants for CdO, with the objective of modify some of their properties (Jin et al 2001;Ahmad et al 2013Ahmad et al , 2014Dakhel 2014). Particularly, iron has been recognized as one of the most efficient doping element to improve and tune the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of CdO nanoparticles due to its unique chemical stability.…”

Structural characterization and properties of nanocrystalline Sn1−xCoxO2 based dilute magnetic semiconductors

“…Also, the Co dopant can inhibit the growth of crystallite and play an important role in the optical properties. Therefore, we have chosen the oxalate precursor mediated modified solvothermal method [14][15][16][17] to synthesize Co-doped SnO 2 nanoparticles at low temperature (600°C). Recently, this route was applied for the successful preparation of Mn-doped SnO 2 nanoparticles.…”
