Due to their potential application in spintronics diluted magnetic semiconductors have attracted much interest. In particular, thin films of ZnO with a few atomic percent of a transition element substituted for zinc are studied intensively. Recently, a model based on a narrow impurity band [1] has been proposed for explaining the ferromagnetic exchange in ZnO. According to this model, Zn1−xCoxO is expected to show ferromagnetism at room temperature and hence has attracted broad interest.

We have prepared quasi-homoepitaxial Zn0.95Co0.05O and Mn0.95Co0.05O films on ZnO substrates by UHV pulsed laser deposition with substrate temperatures ranging between room temperature and 600C and different background atmospheres (Ar or Ar + 1% O2). During growth the thin films are characterized by in-situ RHEED. Furthermore X-ray diffraction and reflectometry as well as transmission electron microscopy have been applied for structural characterization. The magnetic properties have been analyzed by SQUID magnetometry and magnetotransport experiments. The Co substituted samples show ferromagnetic hysteresis at room temperature and a saturation magnetization of up to 1µB/Co.
This work is supported by the DFG via SPP 1157.
