Synthesis and magnetic properties of one-dimensional zinc nickel oxide solid solution.
A novel facile method has been demonstrated for large-scale synthesis of zinc-oxide-based one-dimensional solid solution with a series percentage of nickel dopant. The obtained Zn1-xNixO nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy. The result shows that the obtained Zn1-xNixO nanorods are single crystalline with the Ni2+ dopants occupying tetrahedral Zn2+ cation sites of wurtzite ZnO. Moreover, the Zn1-xNixO nanorods exhibit robust high-Curie-temperature (TC) ferromagnetism at 300 K.
