摘要: P-type ZnO:N films have been prepared by oxidizing Zn3N2 in an oxygen plasma. The film oxidized at 200 °C, with the highest hole carrier concentration of 1.50 × 1017 cm−3 and lowest vacancy (VO) content (INBE/IVo = 1:0.4), exhibits room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM). first-principles calculations reveal that observed FM originates from p-p interaction between substitutional N (NO) neighboring O atom. strongly relies on NO carriers, while VO defects suppress FM. Our results highlight origin mechanism p-type N-doped ZnO.P-type ZnO.
