Room temperature ferromagnetism in ZnO prepared by microemulsion

Clear room temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in ZnO powders prepared by microemulsion. The O vacancy (VO) clusters mediated by the VO with one electron (F center) contributed to the ferromagnetism, while the isolated F centers contributed to the low temperature paramagnetism. Annealing in...
