Title Relationship Between Structure and Magnetic Behaviour in ZnO-Based Systems Author(s) Guglieri Rodr??guez, Clara Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. Description XIV, 146 p. 104 illus., 52 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This??work studies the??magnetic behavior of ZnO nanoparticles capped with different organic molecules and showing room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM). Of particular significance is the combination of element-specific X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) techniques, which demonstrates the intrinsic occurrence of RTFM in these systems and indicates that it is not related to the 3-D states of the metallic cation but is relayed??along the conduction band of the semiconductor. The discovery of room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) in semiconductors holds great promise in future spintronics technologies.???? Further results presented here include??O K-edge XMCD studies, which??demonstrate that the oxygen ions have a ferromagnetic response in these ZnO-based systems, providing the first direct support for claims regarding the appearance of oxygen ferromagnetism in oxide semiconductors at the nanoscale ISBN,Price 9783319188874 Keyword(s) 1.
