This paper proposes evaluate the effect on doping of 0.4mol of Co in ZnO, Aiming to use in diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMSs), so for this purpose, an evaluation of the characteristics: structural, morphological and magnetic was investigated. The samples were synthesized by combustion reaction using urea as fuel and an electric heater as source of heating. During the synthesis was performed measurements of temperature and time of combustion flame. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (DRX), adsorption of nitrogen (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size distribution and magnetic measurement. The maximum temperature, and reaction time were, 520 oC and 240 s. The data of the XRD showed how phase majority the ZnO, with crystallite size of 27 nm and trace of second phase CoCo2O4. Presented superficial area of 33.5 m2/g, with morphology consisting of agglomerates in the form of balls smaller than 5 μm. The sample presented behavior ferrimagnetic with saturation magnetization of 0.32 emu/g, type of a magnetic semiconductor.
This paper proposes to investigate the influence of the type of container on the structure, morphology and measures magnetic nanoparticles of the Zn0.6Fe0.4O synthesized by combustion reaction, for use as diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). For synthesis were used as containers stainless crucibles and porcelain. The heating was realized in a muffle furnace at 500 °C. During the reactions, were performed measurements of the maximum temperature and total time of combustion reaction. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and magnetic measurements. The maximum temperatures obtained were 478 and 456 °C and total reaction time of 285 and 195 s for the samples synthesized in the crucible of stainless steel and porcelain, respectively. In both containers were possible to obtain single phase material with average crystallite size of 26 to 37 nm, irregular agglomerates formed by, behavior ferrimagnetic whose, saturation magnetization values of 1.6 e 2.0 emu/g respectively.
