Nanoparticle synthesis
Polymerized complex method, using Ti isopropoxide and nitrate
precursors
Bulk ceramic samples of undoped LSTO, and LSTO with 2 % 57Fe
doping were made by mixing and firing the components at 1000 C.
The pellet was placed in a ceramic boat and sintered at 1150 C for
24 h in air or flowing argon.
The nominal purity of the starting materials was 99.99 % or better.

LSTO summary
The nanocrystalline samples doped with the late transition
elements Fe, Co and Ni behave differently.
In addition to a temperature-dependent, Curie-Weiss term in
the susceptibility, they all show a nonlinear, ferromagnetic-like
component in their magnetization curves
The samples doped with cations from Sc – Mn all exhibit
linear magnetization curves and a Curie-Weiss susceptibility

MANSE Midterm Review
Summary
In two nanoparticle systems — ZnO;M and LSTO;M the TM dopants
are usually paramagnetic. Ferromagnetic moments only apperar in
some sample when M = Fe, Co or Ni.
Where it was possible to analyse the iron phases specifically, using
Mossbauer spectroscopy, evidence of a ferromagnetic secondary
phase (Fe or Fe3O4) was found.
It is likely that much or all of the ferromagnetism in these materials
can be explained by ferromagnetic secondary phases.
The origin of the room temperature ferromagnetism in the Fe and Ni
doped ZnO prepared with a non-homogeneous precursor is explained
by the presence of a secondary phase magnetite and metallic Ni,
respectively.
The evidence indicates that room temperature ferromagnetism in
these doped ZnO nanoparticles has an extrinsic origin.

Summary
Larger moments for films on C-cut substrates compared to
R-cut substrates.
Conductivity is enhanced significantly in films with low
Al doping (0.1-0.2 %), maintaining the magnetic moment.
Magnetic moment decreases with increasing Al content.
Band-gap shift (~ 0.5 eV), is observed with Al-doping.
