摘要
We review pitfalls in recent efforts to make a conventional semiconductor, namely ZnO, ferromagnetic by means of doping with transition metal ions. Since the solubility of those elements is rather low, formation of secondary phases and the creation of defects upon low temperature processing can lead to unwanted magnetic effects. Among others, ion implantation is a method of doping, which is highly suited for he investigation of those effects. By focussing mainly on Fe-Co or Ni implanted ZnO single crystals we show that ther are manifold sources for ferromagnetism in this material which can easily be confused with the formation of a ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS). We will focus on metallic as well as oxide precipitates and the difficulties of their identification.
