- Gallium nitride powders and zinc oxide powders were each calcined with a few weight percent of copper oxide and/or magnesium oxide either in air or N2. Powder X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy were performed in order to observe calcination induced structural effects on these wurtzite type semiconductors. We note that our earlier magnetic results on Cu doped GaN are qualitatively consistent with recent first principle calculations [Wu et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 89 (2006) 62505].

- Gallium nitride powders were calcined with copper oxide in either air or N2 and analyzed by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution parallel illumination (HRTEM) and scanning probe transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in order to address the structural and electronic effects of Cu-incorporation into GaN. Gallium oxide and multiple copper oxide phases corresponding to the calcination environment were detected. Significant changes in the lattice parameters and electronic structure of the N2-processed GaN indicate incorporation of both copper and oxygen into the GaN lattice as well as changes in the chemical bonding due to the calcinations process. SQUID magnetometer measurements at 300 K demonstrated ferromagnetism in selected samples.

- Powder X-ray diffraction analyses of Mn-and Cu-doped ZnO powders calcined at 500°C, show shifts in the wurtzite type semiconductor's lattice constants and unit cell volume which correspond to the nominal concentrations of both transition metal dopants. Marked reductions in the a-lattice constant and unit cell volume for a small concentration of Cu dopants, which is not maintained upon increased Cu concentration, suggest a change in the copper ion hybridization state due to the dopant concentration. In all the samples, only ZnO and CuO phases were detected, aiding the ascertainment of any ferromagnetic response from the samples as arising from the formation of a true dilute magnetic semiconductor.
