Defects mediated weak ferromagnetism in Zn1−y C y O (0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.10) nanorods semiconductors for spintronics applications

Abstract A series of carbon-doped ZnO [Zn1−yCyO (0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.10)] nanorods were synthesized using a cost-effective low-temperature (85 °C) dip coating technique. X-ray diffractometer scans of the samples revealed the hexagonal structure of the C-doped ZnO samples, except for y = 0.10. XRD analysis...
