Description
Summary:Investigations on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of Zn1-xCuxO (x=0.00 and 0.05) nanoparticles synthesized via simple and low cost sol-gel auto combustion technique. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD pattern reveals the formation of single phase with hexagonal wurtzite structure of both the synthesized samples. It also confirms the sucssefully incorporation of dopant (Cu2+) into the ZnO lattice. The lattice parameter of Cu2+ doped ZnO is slightly greater than that of pure ZnO nanoparticles. The crystallite size of synthesized samples are as 21 and 19 nm in range. Magnetic study carried out by VSM at room temperature and shows the diamagnetic nature of pure ZnO nanoparticles. After the doping of Cu2+ ions in ZnO changes to ferromagnetic nature. The apperance of ferromagnetism due to the presence of free carriers induced by Cu2+ doped into ZnO nanoparticles.
