Zinc vacancy and erbium cluster jointly promote ferromagnetism in erbium-doped ZnO thin film
Zn1-xErxO (0.005 ≤ x ≤ 0.04) thin films have been prepared by inductively coupled plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition method. Ferromagnetism, crystal structure, microstructure and photoluminescence properties of the films were characterized. It is found that the chemical valence state of Er is...
