摘要
Sn-doped indium oxide nanowires were grown using a vapor-liquid-solid technique (VLS). The Sn content of the nanowires was tunable based on the source powder ratios used in the VLS process. The oxidation state of the Sn ions was examined using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that Sn2+ was the dominant ionic species in samples over 6% (atomic percentage) Sn. The nanowires were found to be ferromagnetic at room temperature, and their saturation magnetization increased with increasing Sn concentration, which could be associated with the spin-splitting of a defect band that was encouraged by the imbalance of Sn2+ to Sn4+ species at high Sn concentrations.
