Abstract

Manganese doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were synthesized for various wt% doping of Mn using sol–gel spin coating technique. The effects of Mn doping on the structural, morphological, compositional, photoluminescence (PL) and magnetic behaviour of ZnO thin films were investigated. Although, Mn doping did not change the lattice constants of the films, the texture coefficient is found to be improved for the films having higher percentage of Mn doping. PL studies reveal that as doping concentration of Mn increases, the intensity of emission peaks corresponding to violet and blue colour increases and the peak position shifts slightly. The saturated magnetic moments are found to decrease with the increase in Mn doping and the reason for such behavior is discussed.
