- Abstract
In this paper, we have reported the enhancing mechanism for room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) in pure and V doped ZnO (ZnVO and ZnVO) films on trioctylamine (amine) functionalization. X-ray diffraction patterns of amine functionalized ZnO films show slight weak reflection as compared to the corresponding as-deposited ZnO films. The presence of N 1 s peak at 398.5 eV implies the formation of Zn-N bond on ZnO film surface. The quenching of visible emission on amine functionalization indicates the passivation of oxygen vacancies via Zn-N bonding. Amine functionalized ZnO films exhibit robust RTFM and the origin is discussed based on the experimental results.
