Abstract
- We report the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Zn<subscript>1-x</subscript>Mn<subscript>x</subscript>O compounds synthesized by a combustion method. The Zn<subscript>1-x</subscript>Mn<subscript>x</subscript>O compounds with x=0–0.1 crystallize in the wurtzite ZnO structure. The lattice parameters a and c of Zn<subscript>1-x</subscript>Mn<subscript>x</subscript>O increase linearly with the Mn content, indicating that Mn<superscript>2+</superscript> ions substitute for Zn<superscript>2+</superscript> ions. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the average particle radius of Zn<subscript>0.95</subscript>Mn<subscript>0.05</subscript>O is about 40 nm. From the Curie–Weiss behavior of susceptibility at high temperature, it was found that the Mn–Mn interaction is dominated by antiferromagnetic coupling with effective nearest-neighbor exchange constant J about -32 K and the large negative value of the Curie–Weiss temperature.
