The formation including density, and height of InFeP:Ag nano-rods doped with noble metal Ag using ion milling method was preponderantly determined from TEM and XRD analyses. We investigate especially the enhanced ferromagnetism of the well aligned InFeP:Ag nano-rods. AES and XPS measurements were carried out in order to investigate the incorporation of Ag and to verify the local chemical bonding of InFeP:Ag nano-rods. The variation of FWHM for DCRC and TAD peaks demonstrates that noble metal Ag is incorporated into InFeP:Ag nano-rods. The noticeable ferromagnetic signature (M-H curve) of the InFeP:Ag nano-rods is observed and Tc persists up to near 350 K (3.9 × 10-4 emu/g) from temperature - dependence magnetization (M-T curve) measurements. This study suggests that the InFeP:Ag nano-rods should be a potential candidate for the application of spintronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
