Diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn
1-x Cox O nanorods with a Curie temperature higher than 350 K have been synthesized by in situ doping of Co in ZnO nanorods using a simple thermal chemical vapor deposition method. Structural analyses indicated that the nanorod possesses the single-crystalline wurtzite structure and there is no segregated cluster of impurity phase appearing throughout the nanorod. The transparence of the Zn1-x Cox O nanorods in the visible region has been examined by UV-visible absorption. The fundamental absorptions of the Zn1-x Cox O nanorods estimated from the absorption spectra do not reveal pronounced difference from that of pure ZnO nanorods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
