Many diluted magnetic semiconductor oxide systems exhibit interesting room temperature
ferromagnetism, which has open the way for spintronics devices .Transition metal doped ZnO
diluted magnetic semiconductor, has recently attracted intense research interest for the purpose of
spintronics application.
This research work deals with the theoretical study of feromagenetism in iron doped ZnO
(Zn1-xFexO), diluted magnetic semiconductor DMS(x=0.25-0.3). A model Hamiltonian is
formulated to describe the interactions between conduction electrons and localized magnetic
moments, focusing on the Sp-d exchange interaction that plays a crucial role in the emergence of
ferromagnetism. By developing a model Hamiltonian for the system and using the holistin
pirmakoff transformation and Greens function formalism, we have obtained expressions for
magnon dispersion relation, magnetization and Curie temperature (Tc). By employing the
experimental values of the parameters in the obtained expressions, magnon dispersion relation
versus temperature, and magnetization versus temperature and Curie temperature (Tc) versus
concentration (x) are plotted separately. Our finding is in agreement with previous experimental
findings. |
