摘要
We grew Zn1-xCoxO single-crystalline nanorods with x <= 0.1 by a solvothermal method and systematically investigated their properties and growth conditions. The nanorods were obtained at low temperature (120-190 degrees) and became thicker and finally transformed into polyhedrons with increasing growth temperature. Impure Co-phase microclusters appeared when the growth temperature exceeds 190 degrees. Co ions appeared in the +2 oxidation state in the nanorods, indicating that they were incorporated into the ZnO lattice. The magnetic properties evolved from a short-range ferromagnetic state at x = 0.05 to long-range ferromagnetic order at x = 0.10. Our results show that the ferromagnetism observed in Zn1-xCoxO was intrinsic and can be understood within the framework of the percolation of bound magnetic polarons. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
