doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2006.00513

Abstract

Abstract: Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are expected to play an important role in interdisciplinary materials science and future spintronics because charge and spin of electrons are accommodated into single matter resulting in interesting magnetic, magneto-optical, magneto-electric and other properties. In this paper, the recent progress in developing ZnO-based DMSs was reviewed, the hot research and existing problems were evaluated, much better analysis was proposed, and some potential use of DMSs was also presented.

Key words: ZnO, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), transition metals (TM), spintronic devices
