Abstract

The As-doped (Zn<subscript>0.93</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.07</subscript>)O thin film prepared by As<superscript>+</superscript> ion implantation showed a clear peak of (A<superscript>0</superscript>,X) having acceptor binding energy of 181 meV. The sample showed high T<subscript>C</subscript> ferromagnetism persisting up to 285 K. The contribution of magnetization from Mn ion at 280 K was determined to be 0.13μ<subscript>B</subscript>/Mn. The improved ferromagnetism is expected to be originated from hole-induced ferromagnetism and enhanced magnetic anisotropy because crystallographically improved sample showed p-type conductivity with hole concentration of 4.8×10<superscript>18</superscript> cm<superscript>-3</superscript> and hole mobility of 11.8 cm<superscript>2</superscript> V<superscript>-1</superscript> s<superscript>-1</superscript>. These results suggest that high T<subscript>C</subscript> ferromagnetism can be realized by codoping the acceptor dopant and improving the magnetic anisotropy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
