Magneto-optical study of ZnO based diluted magnetic semiconductors
  Magneto-optical properties of ZnO:Co and ZnO:Ni films were measured. Magnetization measurements show that some of the films are paramagnetic and others are ferromagnetic. Magnetic circular dichroism clarified that Zn1-xCoxO and Zn1-xNixO included in samples are paramagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductors. Ferromagnetic precipitations seem to be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic behaviors. Criteria to judge the ferromagnetic DMS are also discussed.
