摘要：

Cr doped ZnO (Zn1-xCrxO) thin films with different Cr concentrations (0.4, 1.5, and 8.9 at.%) were deposited on Si substrates using RF magnetron sputtering. Film crystal structure was characterized using X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer measurements were used to investigate their magnetic properties. Unstable ZnO structure is present at low Cr concentrations, while secondary phases appear at higher Cr concentrations. 8.9 at.% Zn1-xCrxO film exhibits room temperature ferromagnetism and high 325 K Curie temperature, even after 300 degrees C annealing for 1 h. This result is promising and demonstrates Cr doped ZnO film's potential use in practical applications. Published by Elsevier B.V.
