摘要：

Ferromagnetic, semi-insulating Mn-alloyed ZnO films with a Curie temperature above 375 K have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on c-plane sapphire substrates. Antiferromagnetic coupling is revealed by temperature-dependent magnetization measurements. The antiferromagnetic coupling would be compatible with the observed weak ferromagnetisin by assuming that the magnetic moments order antiferromagnetically but nonparallel (canted). We find a clear correlation between coercivity and mosaicity of the ferromagnetic Mn-alloyed ZnO films and explain it on the basis of a coercivity mechanism known from soft magnetic materials.
