Transport properties of magnetic Co doped ZnO thin films — •Milan Gacic, Gerhard Jakob, and Hermann Adrian — Institut für Physik, Universität Mainz, Staudinger Weg 7, 55128 Mainz

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) have recently attracted much interest because of their potential application in spintronics. Thereby ferromagnetism above room temperature is essential for practical applications, as found in Co doped ZnO. We have investigated magnetic and transport properties of 5% Co doped and undoped ZnO thin films deposited on r-plane Al2O3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The Co doped films showed paramagnetic and ferromagnetic behaviour as well as a high magnetoresistance and a small anomalous Hall effect. In a range of 0 to 5 Tesla at low temperatures we observed a double sign change of the magnetoresistance. For undoped ZnO films, prepared by the same conditions, only a negative MR was observed, but suprisingly also a very small anomalous Hall effect. We explain our results by applying a semiempirical fit consisting of a positive and a negative contribution to the magnetoresistance.
